Fuerte de San Sebastián del Pastelillo
This low Manga waterfront fort stands at the former Boquerón defensive site. A restaurant occupies the historic structure today, so access to its masonry depends on current venue arrangements.
Why go
Visit this low Manga fort to understand Cartagena's inner-harbor defenses after ships passed the outer channel. It occupies the site of the earlier Boquerón fort, making it a useful contrast with the larger defenses at San Felipe and Bocachica. Its waterfront position shows how the bay's defensive layers worked together.
