Abstract

Chiloe’s culture, geography, history, legends and myths have been a subject of growing admiration. Likewise, the architectural heritage, which is related to churches and stilt houses, is also considered a remarkable element of this culture. However, it is worth analyzing a kind of building that has not been properly studied: the Spanish defensive fortress. Located in places that are dif? cult to access, affected by weather, these buildings are incorruptible demonstrations of speci? c events that explain its hazardous developments. A few ruins remain from these Spanish forts; such remains should be recovered and incorporated into tourist routes enhances their heritage value.
