Campeche - Fuerte de San Miguel 
|
|
A detour from the coast road on the southern outskirts of the city leads to the Fuerte de San Miguel, attractively situated overlooking Campeche. Access to the bastion - still furnished with its old cannon - is by way of a drawbridge.
The interior houses a small but very interesting archaeological museum (Museo de Arqueología) with artefacts from a wide range of Mayan cultures. Especially noteworthy are the terracotta figurines from Jaína and the museum's excellent synoptic presentation of pre-Columbian civilisations.
