Fort Nativity, Spanish colonial fort in Nacimiento, Chile
Located at the meeting point of Vergara and Bio Bio rivers, this stone fortification features defensive walls and offers views of the surrounding landscape.
Governor Alonso de Ribera established the fort on December 24, 1603, as part of a defensive line against Mapuche forces in southern colonial Chile.
The fort stands as a representation of the complex relations between Spanish colonizers and the Mapuche people during the Arauco War period.
Visitors can reach the fort through Route 156, approximately 105 kilometers southeast of Concepcion, at the end of O'Higgins, San Martin, and Freire streets.
The structure underwent multiple relocations before settling at its current position in 1752, where it now sits amid a city of 30,000 inhabitants.
