Just outside San Pedro de Atacama are the ruins of a 12th-century fort built atop a promontory overlooking the Rio San Pedro. It was built by the Atacameños to protect themselves from the expanding Inca Empire, but the real threat came centuries later when the Conquistadors invaded and conquered the fortress in 1540
