San Carlos de Borromeo Fortress (Spanish: Castillo San Carlos de Borromeo) is a colonial fortress in the Bay of Pampatar in the northeast of Isla Margarita, Venezuela. It was completed in 1684, standing on the site of an earlier fortification, in an era when there was a constant threat from pirates or privateers. The fortress was ransacked several times before Venezuela gained independence. Today the castle has been restored and serves as a museum.
