Fortaleza de Santa Bárbara

Great place is one of the oldest structures of spanish colonizers, great view of the coasts and sea. Is located un downtown center, artisans stores are in there, some Guide persons too, there is a museum inside, and some monuments around. Is very chepa and is stunning place.

The best views of the coastline in Trujillo! It costs $3 per person for foreigners. They have nice historical information posted to learn about the region and the people. Would definitely recommend for fellow cruisers! You can easily walk here from the port. It takes less than 10 minutes.

Historical place

Great historical are

It is quite interesting to know this fortress Spaniards built quite along time, it has been preserved as much as a third world country can... The view from up there is amazing.

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...

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.

It was really cool to be able to learn about the history of Trujillo and to see some of the remains of the fort that use to protect it!

So nice clean rooms

Beautiful place

It's a fantastic place and it's better to be in family instead of being alone
