Espíritu Santo (fort)

Espíritu Santo fort was a Spanish fortress that existed in near what is now the Nacimiento commune of Biobío Province, Bio-Bio Region of Chile. It was on the left bank of the Bio Bio River immediately below its confluence with the Tavolevo River. Built in 1585 by the Royal Governor of Chile Alonso de Sotomayor for defense of the valley of Catiray and was in correspondence with fort of La Trinidad, on the opposite shore of the Bio Bio. It was abandoned and destroyed by the year of 1600.
