San Fernando de Omoa Fortress
|
Tour the San Fernando Fortress,
built between 1746 and 1779 but left unfinished. It was designed to fight off the pirates plying the Caribbean waters. You will see the thick moss covered walls and dark and musty rooms, exposing the high humidity that kept the building from being finished. Also, visit the museum that explains the history of its construction and later use of the building, mainly as a prison, until 1959, when it became part of the country’s historical heritage. Next
, we drive through Puerto Cortes, the largest and best equipped harbor in Central America. Browse the largest Handicraft Center in the country – Turicentro Plaza - located at El Progreso.
