San Fernando Fortress

It was beautiful, and very well preserved. I highly reccomend you visit this site full of historical discoveries.

San Fernando's Fortress in Omoa is a captivating historical treasure, preserving a significant chapter of Honduras' colonial past. Our experience was truly exceptional thanks to an outstanding tour guide who expertly delved into the fortress's history, leaving an indelible mark on our group's memory.

A well preserved part of history - worth a visit.

It is definitely worth hiring a tour guide. There is a lot of history behind the fort that it makes you want to learn more about the history of the fort. The tour is about 1 hour long. I would say record what the guide says, if you can, so you can go back and listen to it again once he is done with the history. You can stay there as long as you want so you can then enjoy the place.

Excellent place with great history. The most exciting is walking around the Fortaleza walls. What I do not agree is that America was „discovered” because it existed before! For that reason the descriptions in museum are deeply colonialistic.

Maybe my favorite thing I've done in Honduras. If you like history or museums, this is a must see. There was even someone on staff offering tours.

Beautiful place with lots of rich history! It’s worth it to pay for a guide (L300) for a 45 or so minute tour to tell you all about it.

Make sure you lay on the sunblock thick!

Beautiful green grass and trees are a wonderful contrast to the brick, stone, and coral construction.

Aside from the cannons and cannonballs in the fort, there is a tiny museum where you can learn about the fort and see certain items up close (swords, anchors, cannon, etc).

Great place for photos, with bright blue skies, bright green grass to contrast against your subjects of choice.

Neat fortress to visit. Small museum with some interesting history. Easy to walk through. Good price.

Amazing experience! Great tour guide.

Great Historical landmark/site this Fort was built by slaves and served as a holding station for Gold under the Spanish Empire. One interesting fact is that coral is stronger that concrete of that period. So when visiting you'll notice that coral is a main product in the construction of this Fort. NOTE: On the coat of arms statue, you'll find a sheep bent over under the priest this sheep represents the slaves upon whos backs lay the burden of constructing this military fort.

Great place to explore with the family. Love the museum a lot of history about Honduras.

Nice historical place to visit with family, close to the beach!!

Historic place to visit in Omoa. A must visit in the area.

Great tourist place. Interesting history and a cool structure to explore. There are pretty trees and foliage and shade can be found throughout the property. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. Grab a coconut to enjoy after the walk around the fort to top off a nice experience

This place is so full of history, culture. Entrance is 40L about $2.00. It includes access to the museum and the fortress. However there are some local guides that offer tours and provide detailed information about all the place and guide you through the entire site for 40L. The installations are well kept. Have been renovated in some parts to preserve the whole scheme. The entire place is clean and neat. Had a really nice experience learning about the history of it.
