Built between 1502 and 1507 by order of Nicolás de Ovando to protect the city from pirate attacks, it is the oldest military construction in the New World. It is so reassuring that in the days of the colony it was called the Fuerza. At its centre is the Torre del Homenaje, a massive medieval tower dating from 1503, more than 18 m high. From its top, the view of the river and the city is superb. The defensive system of the fortress is completed by a series of forts. During the Trujillo dictatorship, the fortress was used as a prison.
