This was the last fort built in Puerto Rico, but was never finished. It has been through many evolutions and was derelict for a time. The renovations are pleasant and it is a combined museum and art gallery. There are currently two artist's work on exhibition, both very pleasing. The museum portion is small and interesting, but desperately needs some additional English translations. Given that many of their visitors' primary language is English, not to have more of the static exhibit's information accessible is really too bad. We were very interested to understand more of the history--frustrating.

Beautiful place and excellent reading material for sale as well as he museum exhibit. Love the view!

This historic fort is run by a director who cares about the island and its people. He shows local talent, runs a radio station that is important to locals and keeps his program humming. I am a big fan.

I think everyone who visits vieques should visit this little gem. The history of the island is alive and well today, and the stories that are Vieques are remarkable. Beautiful art and architecture!

Well, typical for us, we walked in the wrong door of the museum after the steep ride up the hill. No worries though, the people seated around the table were very friendly, relaxed and bemused at our blundering in on what looked like a lunch break during their work day. We were politely directed around the side of the building and up the slope to the MAIN entrance. The fort was built by the Spanish as the last fortification in the PR islands during the twilight of their New World empire. It fell into disrepair and has since been lovingly restored (late '80s, early 90s) as an emblem and symbol of pride in Puerto Rican culture and history. The upper floors are a combination showcase of contemporary PR artists displaying their work, and a museum of indigenous culture as well as Spanish and other colonial artifacts. Sadly, while the indigenous weaponry on display was extremely well-crafted and deadly for it's intended purpose, it could not stand up to the pikes, halberds and swords of the Spanish conquistadores. If you want to appreciate the context and history of the places where you go to "re-create", this Museum does an excellent job telling the story of the island and the surrounding area. Great views to the north and east of the island of Culebra. (Someone told me you can see St. Croix from somewhere on Vieques. I don't know if it's from the Fort or not.)

The views from the fort are the best on the island. Learn about Isla Nena's rich history in the museum. Thanks Robert Ravin for making our visit so special!

TIP: Its free (but give a donation).Nice historical location to go see, very well restored and great combination of modern art and historical artifacts on display. Worth 60 to 90 minutes of your time.

The fort is impressive, all by its self, but the view from the top of the hill is worth the hike. The museum and art are very nice. It isn't El Morro, but still very worth a look. If you are on the island, you should put this on your itinerary.
