Fortaleza San Felipe
Puerto Plata’s Fortaleza San Felipe stands near the Atlantic waterfront. Its historic rooms and coastal position give the city a compact fortification visit.
Why go
The fort joins a military museum with the shoreline it was built to watch. Looking from its walls toward the sea helps explain why this point mattered to Puerto Plata, while the exhibits bring the structure’s history indoors. It makes a useful contrast with the city’s amber collection and beaches.
