Castillo de San Felipe - Take 2

When Justin was here visiting, I took him to Castillo de San Felipe. Last time I blogged about the fortress, I only posted a few pictures. Here are some new ones:

Statue of Spanish Admiral Blas de Lezo, who successfully defended Cartagena against a British attack in 1741 (despite not having an eye, an arm, and a leg)
Tunnels within the fortress used for transporting supplies
Bell tower for sounding the alarm
