The Heights of Old San Juan

By Linda Tancs

Located in the Old San Juan section of San Juan, Puerto Rico, San Juan National Historic Site preserves and interprets the Spanish colonial-era fortification system of the city. Explore the forts, where you’ll enjoy the views of the highest points of Old San Juan. You can also go meander through tunnels, sentry boxes and WWII lookouts, and learn from the exhibitions explaining the history of the forts. The fortification system defended the city against foreign intrusion and pirate attacks since its inception, with over 500 years of European history embedded in its walls.
