Puerto Real (Haiti)

Puerto Real was a settlement that existed on the northern coast of the island of Hispaniola, near the present-day town of Limonade in Haiti.

The settlement was founded in 1503 as an outpost of the Spanish Empire but was abandoned in 1579 in an attempt to suppress smuggling.[1][2]
