Museo de Sitio Castillo de Niebla

The Museo de Sitio Castillo de Niebla preserves and exhibits artifacts within a coastal fortification complex overlooking the Valdivia River estuary in southern Chile.

The Spanish monarchy constructed this defensive fortress around 1645 to protect their territories, which remained active until Chilean independence in the early 19th century.

The museum's permanent exhibition presents regional artifacts, illustrations, and texts documenting European arrival and colonial life through the 18th century in the Corral Bay area.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM between March and December, with extended hours and Sunday openings during January and February.

The museum maintains green areas through an unconventional groundskeeper: a llama named Mito, who assists in vegetation management across the historical grounds.
