Description
Llamada así en honor al rey español Carlos III. Comenzó a edificarse en 1763, bajo la dirección del ingeniero militar Silvestre Abarca. Se levantó en la ribera alta del Puerto de La Habana, zona que había quedado indefensa hasta ese momento. Al terminar su construcción, en 1774, era la más grande fortaleza española construida en América. Description from EcuRed Conocimiento con todo y para todos.
