A shot of some of the cannons from the other fort at Portobelo, 'Fuerte Santiago', located on the road into town from the West. There is a 'castle' or 'watch tower' located just across the street (Mirador Peru). This fort is much smaller than the main one in town, but it is still worth a stroll around the grounds, which will only take a few minutes. Once again, the fort was built entirely of reef-coral for its durability, lightness and ease of use. This fort was built in 1739 in response to a pirate attack, and it has many small 'musket ports' where the defenders could shoot out at the attackers without being exposed themselves.
