Real Felipe Fortress
Real Felipe Fortress, Military fortress in Callao, Peru
The stone fortress covers 83,000 square meters in a pentagonal shape with five bastions containing two towers, multiple walls, and fortified gates.
Built between 1747 and 1774 under Spanish rule, the fortress protected the port of Callao against pirate attacks and European naval forces.
The fortress houses the Peruvian Army Museum, displaying military artifacts, weapons collections, and exhibits about the colonial period of Peru.
Visitors can explore the King's Tower, Queen's Tower, Governor's House, Artillery Park, Armored Vehicle Park, and the Twelve Cannons Knight section.
The fortress design incorporates scientific knowledge from French mathematician Luis Godin and Spanish military architecture principles of the 18th century.
