Fort of San Diego

Star fort turned museum of Manila Galleon trade history

Five-pointed Spanish star fort on a hill above the harbour — for two centuries the defender of the Manila Galleons against Dutch and English pirates, and now the Museo Histórico de Acapulco. Fifteen galleries cover the Nahua founding of the town, the trade with Manila, piracy, and Mexican independence. The rooftop gives a good view across the bay.
