St. Charles Bastion
Baluarte de San Carlos
Here in 1740 the sentry rang the alarm whenever he saw a puff of smoke from enemy cannon across the bay. It was the signal for prayer.
Only two men in the fort were killed during the 27-day bombardment.
Marker can be reached from South Castillo Drive (State Highway A1A), on the right when traveling north.
