Welcome to Castillo de San Felipe del Morro Declared a World
Heritage elite by the United Nations in 1933. El Morro is Puerto
Rico's best known fortress. Spanish troops fortified this 'morro'.
which means 'promontory', to keep seaborne enemies out of San
Juan (now the oldest city in the western hemisphere). Today this
dramatic castle welcomes multitudes of arriving cruise ships and
aircraft to the bussiest port in the Caribbean. Over two million
visitors a year explore theme windswept ramparts and pageways,
where the history of 400 years of Spain in Puerto Rico comes alive.
