Then there’s the El Castillo de San Cristobal which is a Spanish fort built to protect the city against land attacks.

The Palacio de Santa Catalina is now the official residence of Purto Rico’s governor but it used to be a defensive structure for the harbor.

El Catedral de San Juan Bautista features the tomb of the well known Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. This is a cathedral with a very rich history being destroyed by a hurricane in 1540, then looted later that century, then damaged by a different hurricane in 1615. Since then the building has been restored.

A smaller fort that is located in the entrance to the Puerto Rico lagoon is the Castillo de San Jeronimo which defended the city against attacks from Sir Francis Drake, Sir George Clifford and Sir Ralph Abercromby.
