HONDURAS - Aerial View of San Fernando De Omoa Fortress

The second card from Wilmer shows the Fort of San Fernando of Camoa.


"The fort of San Fernando of Camoa - it was the largest fort in the region and it guarded one of the most important ports in the Caribbean. The fort of San Fernando was built between 1745 and 1778, using slave labour. The fort housed a garrison of 365 Spanish soldiers and was equipped with enough cannons to effectively repell naval attacks from the bay."
