Visited the Santa Teresa Fort, near the Playa de le Moza. Quit an astounding site in which many artefacts have been well preserved. Many of the rooms of the old fort are now museum-like exhibits. One gets to experience what conditions were like here centuries ago as well as conditons. Found the armory and magazine to be interesting. Also appreciated the presence of a chapel for soldiers including priests' clothing, chalices, religious items for use at mass celebrations etc. Also saw the area where the sick and injured were treated during war and invasion, as well as domestic facilities etc. Quite an experience if you're interested in history!…

We drove from La Pedrera to visit this site. I'm so glad we did. It was the best outing of our trip outside Montevideo. Absolutely stunning. The site itself is well preserved and the various displays of historical artifacts and documents throughout the site are noteworthy. The wall structures of the fortress are amazing, but the various rooms and small edifices within it are interesting and in great shape as well. The colonial chapel is lovely, and the vistas all around from the walls are astounding. Very close to some of the camp sites in the park. Give yours elf time to visit the park too.…
