This fort used to ward off the pirates that came up the cove to attack the town of Porto Bello. There were also guns across the inlet and this fort and arrangement was, apparently very successful.
you always find the most wonderful places off the beaten path to show us.......i love that about you... among your many other talents.....keep them comin love...xxoooxxx.....Dianna
I was glad that we bought New York for 60 guilders, but when i see what the spanish had concoured I like this piratbay more than the towerbuildings of the big apple
