Fundación del Fuerte y pueblo de Bahía Blanca y fomento del puerto 1827 - 1828

Fundación del Fuerte y pueblo de Bahía Blanca is a national historic site documenting the establishment of a military fortification and the founding of a port city in the region. The site contains the remains of this fortress with its original defensive structures and layout.

The military fortification was founded in 1827-1828 as part of a strategy to secure the coastal region and develop the harbor. This project was essential for settling the area and establishing economic development in Bahía Blanca.

The fort represents how the city organized its military defense and commercial interests in the early period. Today visitors can explore the layout and structure to understand how the settlement operated and developed.

The site is walkable on foot with marked paths and information signs showing different areas of the fortification. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain is uneven and sun exposure can be strong.

The site was designed from the start as a port facility, and naval lookouts used original observation points to monitor ship traffic. These practical features show how closely defense and commerce were linked.
