Conde de Marisol Fort, Vieques PR.

The "Fuerte de Conde de Mirasol", was the last fort built by the Spanish in the New world. Construction began in 1845, but never completed.

The main structure was used by local governments as a jail into the 1940's. The Fortin was later abandoned and fell into disrepair. An extensive renovation and restoration project completed in 1991.

Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the museum and grounds. The museum's staff are extremely knowledgeable and informative.
The Fortin itself offers sweeping panoramic views of Isabel Segunda, the Puerto Rico Mainland, Culebra island, and St. Thomas.
The Fortin is now the center of Vieques culture and history. The museum has permanent exhibits of native Taino and Spanish tools and artifacts, and hosts many exhibitions by artists from Puerto Rico and around the world. read more...
