- La Fortaleza - Palacio de Santa Catalina - Known as “La Fortaleza,” this imposing structure, built in 1540, initially served as a fortress to protect the island. Later, in 1846, it was remodeled and converted into the official residence of the governor. It has hosted 170 governors of Puerto Rico throughout its history.
- La Puerta de San Juan - This is the entrance to Old San Juan, known for its beauty and vibrant colors. The gate stands at 16 feet tall and 20 feet thick, leading you to the romantic Paseo La Princesa. The inscription above it reads “Benedictus Oui Venit In Nomine Domini,” which translates to “Welcome those who come in the name of God,” a tribute to the island’s Catholic roots.
- Bastion de Santa Elena - You can enjoy the view from the bay on the water of “Las Garitas.” These structures, located along the Paseo de la Princesa, the Wall, and up to Castillo San Felipe del Morro, make up a series of historic defensive structures in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. “Las Garitas” are strategically positioned along the wall and offer panoramic views of the bay and the city. Exploring “Las Garitas” allows visitors to immerse themselves in the rich military history of the region while enjoying breathtaking maritime landscapes.
