San Felipe Fort in Bacalar Mehika

The Fort of San Felipe de Bacalar or Castle of San Felipe de Bacalar is located in the city of Bacalar, belonging to the state of Quintana Roo, in Mexico. It is named after Andrés Quintana Roo, a prominent figure in the independence of Mexico. The castle was ordered to be built in 1725 by Antonio de Figueroa y Silva, Spanish governor of Yucatán, as a defensive fort to preserve the state against the push of the English colonisers. It was completed in 1733. It was designed by the Italian Juan Podio. It represents the conjunction of the austere with the functional, the meeting of sobriety and elegance. Today it is the Museum of Piracy, founded in 1965 and re-inaugurated in 1983.
