Historic Details: 

Designated a National Historic Site, El Morro is more than just a historic San Juan fort—it's a symbol of Puerto Rico's resilience and cultural legacy. Visitors can explore its maze-like tunnels, climb up to cannon-lined walls, and soak in sweeping ocean views that once served as the island's first line of defense. This fortress has seen many battles over the centuries, from Sir Francis Drake's attack in 1595 to the 1898 Bombardment of San Juan by the US Navy, but it has never been defeated. In 1898, as a result of the Spanish-American War, the island changed hands from Spain to the United States.
