San Felipe Fort Bacalar
Av. 3 entre calles 20 y 24, Centro, Bacalar, Quintana Roo.
This impressive 18th-century military fortification, was built to protect the town from pirate raids. Its limestone and coral walls now house the Piracy Museum, featuring ancient maps, colonial weaponry, and a stunning mural depicting regional history. Its four bastions provide the most complete panoramic views of the Seven-Colored Lagoon.
Local Tip
"The fort is closed every Monday. Visit at midday for the best sunlight to capture the lagoon's vibrant colors. Don't forget to take a photo with the iconic "Bacalar" letters located just outside the main entrance."
