Fuerte San Antonio, Spanish colonial fort in Ancud, Chile.
The fortification stands on an elevated position of Ancud, featuring seven cannons pointing toward the bay and remnants of defensive structures.
The Spanish military engineers constructed this defensive post in 1770 as part of a network protecting the territory from maritime threats.
The obelisk erected in 1926 within the fort grounds commemorates 100 years of Chiloe's incorporation into the Chilean territory.
Located 800 meters from Ancud's main square, visitors can reach the fort by following Baquedano Street toward San Antonio.
The underground tunnel that connected the fort to the powder magazine of Fuerte San Carlos remains sealed since the 1960 earthquake.
