The Real Felipe Fortress was
built to defend the main Peruvian port and the city of Lima from
pirates and corsairs during colonial times. The fortress was
pivotal in the 1866 naval battle between a Spanish fleet sent to
South America to "reclaim" its colonies and land
batteries in the coast of Peru. The Real Felipe Fortress is
currently the Peruvian Army Museum, displaying historical
uniforms, weapons and other military paraphernalia.
