Things to Do
Castillo de San Cristobal
Rising almost 150 feet above sea level, the Castillo de San Cristóbal (Saint Christopher's Castle) is a massive structure that occupies most of the northeast edge of Old San Juan. Built mainly over a 20-year period (1765-1785), San Cristóbal was over 200 years newer than Castillo San Felipe del Morro (more commonly called El Morro), Puerto Rico's military stalwart at the time.
Castillo San Felipe del Morro
ld San Juan was founded in 1521 by Spanish settlers. The first fortification, La Fortaleza, began construction in 1533 and currently serves as the governor's mansion. The Castillo San Felipe del Morro, or El Morro, was the second fort built on the islet of what is now Old San Juan and Puerta de Tierra.
