When visiting Caracola Beach and Spa Resort on Isla Margarita, be sure you have a chance to check out the ruins of Caranta Fort.
Caranta Fort is located on top of La Caranta hill and was built between 1586 and 1595. It was originally built to shut off access to the bay and shoreline but before it could perform this duty it was destroyed during an attack by Dutch pirates in 1626.
Today, the ruins of Caranta Fort still have a few original cannons pointing towards the ocean that visitors can experience. La Caranta hill also provides visitors with a world class view of the bay which is always filled with sailboats from around the world.
