To avoid constant looting by English, French, Dutch, Oriental, White and African pirates, this fort was built at the beginning of the 18th century. Later it became a military barracks and finally opened its doors as a museum. In addition to the impressive construction, you can admire different pieces from the Mayan culture and the colonial era. From the fort you can observe the Laguna de Bacalar, the passage of pirates.

Do not forget to take a photograph in the main tower where you can see the one of Bacalar in its maximum splendor.
