Why Visit These Forts in San Juan?
These two Spanish-built fortresses are part of San Juan National Historic Site and are packed with rich history, breathtaking ocean views, and beautiful colonial architecture. Built to defend Puerto Rico from invaders, they now offer visitors a unique look into the island’s past.
We begin our adventure at Castillo San Cristóbal and continue on to Castillo San Felipe del Morro, located at the tip of San Juan and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Inside the forts, we explore the grounds, step inside tunnels and guard towers, and take in the incredible ocean views and historic architecture that make these landmarks a must see.
