San Cristobal Castle

San Cristobal Castle, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is an iconic fortress fortress originally built in 1533. This Spanish military installation served as the Puerto Rican branch of the defense line against the Caribbean waters. The castle consists of large, sprawling walls built with limestone, enclosing an inner bailey with several smaller spaces. The inner moat, now dried, was once filled with sea water brought in by tidal gates. This historic site is a must-see for travelers and photographers alike. Its imposing architecture, complete with defensive bastions, is an impressive sight, especially when illuminated at night. Its intricate stone structures and idle cannons is a remarkable sight that serves as a reminder of its defensive past. San Cristobal Castle is also home to multiple attractions and historic sites, such as el Baluarte de San Gerónimo, el Queen's Park, and San Crystal Palace.
