Fuerte De Navidad

About

By visiting the Christmas Fort you will learn in detail the defensive system of Cartagena throughout history. Enrol like a cabin boy on our Tourist Boat, and you will be able to enter the only coastal battery adapted to show military and everyday life in a 19th century fortress. Nestled in the right margin of the bay and next to the lighthouse of the same name, the Christmas Fort keeps witness of the political, social and military conflicts of the past centuries. Examine the bunkers, learn how to handle a canon and discover the diet and the life of the gunners. Finish your visit enjoying the magnificent views from the terrace and relaxing on the return journey aboard the tourist boat.
