Fuerte Reina Luisa, Colonial fort in Osorno, Chile.

The fort stands on the bank of the Rahue River, featuring a triangular structure with three bastions and a 200-meter perimeter wall.

Built between 1793 and 1794 under engineer Manuel Olaguer Feliu, the fort protected the region against pirates and indigenous Huilliche groups.

The structure bears the name of Maria Luisa of Parma, wife of King Charles IV of Spain, reflecting Spanish colonial influence in Chile.

The fort opens to visitors throughout the year and includes exhibition spaces that present the military history of Osorno through artifacts.

The original bell that served as an emergency alarm system now resides in the Municipal Historical Museum of Osorno.
