Description

Castillo de la Real Fuerza is a star-shaped fortress bult to guard the entrance to Havana harbor. Completed in 1577, it was found to be too small and too far from the harbor entrance to be of use as a fortress. It was later used for a time as the governor's residence. The watchtower was added in 1634.
