Fuerte de Santa Bárbara played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

To visit this history-filled fortress, you'll need to find your way to Zona Colonial. You'll find plenty of other things to see and do in this area, like Centro Olimpico, Columbus Park, and Colon Lighthouse and Museum.

staff,food,drinks,clean room, but i was frustrated by the security people who stopped us from getting into the ocean even when there was no obvious danger of storm .... The main reason we came there was the ocean not the food,or anything else.They prohibited us even from walking on the beach.

For the price I have no complaints with my stay. The staff were awesome. They helped us with every request we had. Graccie House was on a quiet street yet close to anything you could need. A 5 minute walk to the Malecon where we found some excellent restaurants. I would stay here again.
