Nice, informative and iconic historic place, even though this fort did not see battle during the famous 5 de Mayo. Due to renovation and repair work, we had to see the displays going back in time instead of a linear historic way, but that did not take away from what it has to offer... very well explained exhibits with English and Spanish depictions, many will be surprised when they learn about the relationship between this war and the American Civil War.. Take your time learning g some new facts and stroll around the Fort o. A nice day enjoy...

Admire how this little chapel transformed into a fort and assisted the Mexicans into a decisive victory against the French. Inside you can see an exhibition of flags, uniforms and guns from that era. When you are done you are rewarded with spectacular views of the city. The best way to go up the hill towards the fort is to visit the underground tunnels, so you can stay cool along the way.

Church converted to a fort during the independence war. Attacked by the French army at the battle of Puebla 1862. Was the only visitor when I was there on a Friday; 60 pesos to get in.

Love this historical monument. This is the birth of the Americans celebration of Mexico's independence day.... 5 DE MAYO!

Interesting and historic fort with a small museum. Definitely worth visiting if you are exploring the park.

Very interesting Fort, you still can see the cannons and the ammunition from the battle when the Mexicans kill Maximilian the usurper King from France, viva Mexico carbones

Very interesting place detailing some of the history of puebla. Cool place to check out and walk the ramparts and imagine what it would be like with the cannons firing

Little way out of the city centre, but worth a visit. Really places the city in context with the historical events, war of independence, French war, revolution etc and most of all the events of Cinco de Mayo. Not a lot of English signage, but entrance fee is cheap compared to more popular tourist sites and it still takes a good hour to go around and see everything properly. Less than half an hour probably if you skip all the signage. Once you are done with the fort the park to the south is nice to wander through and there are likely ice cream vendors on hand!

Beutiful Museum, small but ful of awesome historical objects. It is surrounded by a Beutiful park, with a tiny tiny lake and other fortress where battle of 5 de Mayo was fought in 1862 against French army. A must if you are visiting Puebla!

A cool little museum. Nice views. It's pretty fast to go around.

Looks cool on the outside, but it was closed when I went there OOPS

A super big place full of history. In addition, its staff is very friendly.

Very nice little museum

Beautiful old Fort from 1812 to visit

Good place takes a little cash to get in but very big and nice art museum inside

Learning the real story behind Cinco de Mayo was amazing.

Pretty, but closed due to Covid-19

Beautiful place that you have to visit!!!

You must to visit this place. It is amazing.

Great place if you are into history the "Puebla" letters with colors are right in front of it and the view is the best.
