The Real Felipe Fortress, located in Callao, Lima, Peru, is a significant historical and architectural landmark. Constructed in the mid-18th century by the Spanish Viceroyalty, this robust defensive structure was designed to protect the port of Callao and Lima from pirate attacks and potential invasions. Its impressive pentagonal shape, thick stone walls, and strategic location by the Pacific Ocean make it a fascinating example of colonial military engineering.
