The Fortified Town of Campeche, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Mexico, is a well-preserved example of a colonial port city defended by an extensive fortification system. Established in the 16th century, it features a historic urban layout with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and notable structures like the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Its strategic walls, bastions, and forts, built to protect against pirate attacks, reflect a blend of Spanish and indigenous influences, making it a significant cultural and historical landmark.
