Fortaleza de San Fernando, Spanish colonial fortification in Omoa, Honduras.
The stone fortress spans 4,400 square meters along the Caribbean Sea, featuring thick limestone walls and defensive bastions constructed for military purposes.
Spanish authorities built the fortress between 1756 and 1775 to protect their territories from pirates and maintain control over maritime trade routes.
The fortress museum exhibits military artifacts from the colonial period, including helmets, weapons, and the Spanish Royal Coat of Arms at its entrance.
Visitors can access guided tours and informational displays throughout the year, with the most favorable weather conditions occurring from December to April.
British cannonball impacts from the 1779 siege during the American Revolutionary War remain visible on the fortress walls today.
