A small Spanish fort with a nice lookout over the Bay of Ancud. The fort system of Ancud and nearby the forts of Agüi are one of the four fort systems of colonial Chiloé. The fort system of Ancud is made up of two forts and four batteries. Fuerte Real de San Carlos was built as late as 1824 by orders of Antonio de Quintanilla, the last Spanish governor of Chiloé. The arsenal (polvorín) of this can still be seen at the centre of a small plaza. The battery of San Antonio is the best preserved part of the fort system.
