Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca

Commercial and political rivalries in the Caribbean region in the 17th century resulted in the construction of this massive series of fortifications on a rocky promontory, built to protect the important port of Santiago. This intricate complex of forts, magazines, bastions and batteries is the most complete, best-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture, based on Italian and Renaissance design principles.
The fortress is about 6 km outside Santiago de Cuba and one of the first destinations which every visitor should arrange in his program.
