One of top 3 historic icons at Trujillo City, high above the waves, gazing over the Caribbean toward the European motherland, this 17th-century Spanish fortress could not have a more evocative position. Though its ruined remains are not that impressive visually, it's still an inspirational spot to reflect on the forces and characters that shaped the history of the American continent. Fifteen cannons face the sea, and a plaque marks the place where North American wannabe conqueror William Walker was executed. The onsite museum has colonial and Garifuna artifacts.
People are kind, museum closes to public after 5pm every day of the week, the sunset and sunrise is a show you will remember by all your life, one of the best places to take an historic picture for your travel album.response / report this review -

May be the place with more history in town, due the many pirates attacks in the early years of the country during the spanish rule, like the local people say "If that place could talk what histories could tell us", actually the US citizen filibuster Willian Walker was executed is that place, the leyend says that he cursed the town before being executed, other sources say what the pirates used to had thier anual convention at Roatan in the bay islands, and when they where drunked some times they decided attack and burn the town just for fun

El Centro Histórico y La Fortaleza son muy bonito lugares, pero en general ocupa mejorar en infraestructura vial.
