The Fortress of the Immaculate Conception, (Spanish: El Castillo de la Inmaculada Concepción) is a fortification located on the southern bank of the San Juan River (Río San Juan), in the village of El Castillo in southern Nicaragua. The fortress is situated approximately 6 kilometers from the border with Costa Rica, at the Raudal del Diablo rapids of the San Juan River. It was completed in 1675 as part of a series of fortifications along the San Juan River, to defend against pirate attacks upon the city of Granada (which can be reached by navigating upstream from the Caribbean Sea along the San Juan River into Lake Nicaragua). The settlement of El Castillo and its fortress continued to be strategically important to the Captaincy General of Guatemala until the late 18th century.

  • Das Castillo de la Inmaculada Concepción (Spanisch, zu Deutsch Burg der Unbefleckten Empfängnis) ist eine ehemalige Festung, die von 1673 bis 1675 während der spanischen Kolonialzeit im Generalkapitanat Guatemala, heute Nicaragua, am Río San Juan gebaut wurde. Die Burg wurde auf den Fundamenten einer älteren Festungsanlage, die bereits in der Regierungszeit von König Philipp II. angelegt wurde, errichtet und steht heute unter Denkmalschutz. Die Festung diente dem Schutz der innernicaraguanischen Städte Granada und León vor englischen Piratenüberfällen; 1780 wurde sie im Kontext des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges kurzfristig von Kapitän zur See Horatio Nelson eingenommen. Um die Festung herum hat sich aus einer Ansiedlung heraus der heutige Ort El Castillo entwickelt. (de)
