Historic Landmark

Castillo san felipe del morro: San Juan's Castillo San Felipe del Morro is an excellent first pick among the island's principal landmarks. Tucked into the old quarter of the city, the fort has stood since 1540, protecting citizens from atop a craggy promontory jutting out from the northwest edge of the city. Since 1983, the fort has been a designated World Heritage Site, along with Castillo San Cristobal and Fortin San Juan de la Cruz, two additional fortifications located in San Juan and dating to the 16th century.
