San Fernando, shaped like a horseshoe, is one of the most beautiful fortifications in the city
In order to protect the passage of Bocachica, two fortresses were erected on either side of the bay: San Fernando, equipped with long-range weapons that could reach the masts of enemy ships, and San José, equipped with short-range weapons pointed at the waterline of ships. Between the two, a heavy copper chain bars the access of the bay to the ships! Shaped like a horseshoe, San Fernando is with its arches one of the most beautiful fortifications of the city.

Une belle forteresse que l'on peut visiter en partant du "muelle turistico" avec la navette maritime et en prenant un guide à l'arrivée au débarcadère.
The best at Isla De Tierra Bomba and around
