Fort Marcy, Military fort in Santa Fe, United States.
Fort Marcy sits on a hill 50 yards above Santa Fe Plaza, featuring remains of adobe walls that formed a star-shaped defensive structure.
Built in 1846 under General Stephen Kearny's command, Fort Marcy established American control over New Mexico Territory during the Mexican-American War.
The fort represents the intersection of Spanish, Mexican, and American military heritage through its position near significant trade routes including El Camino Real.
Visitors can access the fort ruins and interpretive exhibits through Old Fort Marcy Park, located six blocks northeast of Santa Fe Plaza.
Fort Marcy remains the single surviving fortification from the Mexican-American War period within the current United States borders.
