San Ignacio de la Redención was a fort established in 1606 by the Governor Alonso García de Ramón in a plain, located in the region of Boroa on the north bank of the Cautín River. In forty days he constructed a large fort, surrounded by a wide ditch, defended by a solid and thick wood palisade, and provided with extensive buildings to hold a large garrison. He intended the following year to turn it into a city. However, the garrison, under its commander Maestro de Campo Rodulfo Lisperger, and most of his garrison were ambushed and annihilated that same year and the fort was abandoned.
