Lucy visited Puren Fortress
Today Lucy visited a little town in our region called Purén. This city is known for being one of the areas strongly defended by Mapuche people. It was so difficult for the spanish soldiers and later for the "chilean government" to establish a village that they first created this fortress, but then in 1869 Mapuche warriors attacked it and killed all chilean soldiers in it...they were more than 100. It was a rainy afternoon but Lucy enjoyed learning a bit about our history.
