Castles and Forts

Santiago de La Caranta Fort: It was originally built in 1586. After the attack by the Dutch pirate Enrico Boduino in 1626, it was left practically destroyed; therefore, nowadays, only the ruins of what constituted one of the most emblematic sites of Nueva Esparta may be seen.
Opening HoursTuesday to Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

San Carlos de Borromeo Castle: Its construction began in 1664 and took some 20 years to be built. It was the most important castle of the island since it was Porlamar Port’s defense.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
