The Fort of San Lorenzo, located at the entrance of the Chagres River in the province of Colón, Panama. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980 under the name of the Fortifications of the Caribbean coast of Panama, with the fortifications of the city of Portobelo. They formed the defensive system for the transatlantic trade of the Crown of Spain and are a magnificent example of the military architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This place has a cost of 5 per person.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, the Fort of San Lorenzo is located at the mouth of the Chagres River on a promontory west of the Panama Canal. Despite its violent history, much of the original San Lorenzo fort is well preserved, including its moat, cannons and vaulted chambers. The fort also commands impressive views of the river and bay far below, which was one of the strategic reasons the Spanish chose to settle here.
