Must See in Puerto Rico - El Morro

El Morro is located in Antiquo in Puerto Rico and is fast becoming a "must see" destination.

El Morro
501 Calle Norzagaray
San Juan Antiguo, PR 00901
+1 787 729 6777

This structure is over 500 years old and truly deserves its place of honor in the National Historic Register. The English and the Dutch attacked the Morro repeatedly in its time and yet, it still stands.

Located on the San Juan Bay , the six-story fort was originally constructed in 1540, although its exterior walls were not erected for another 200 years. Inside the walls is a veritable labyrinth of chambers, barracks, hallways and prison cells. The fort was given a complete facelift in 1992 and tours are given daily throughout the year.

With admission just $3, this is a fun and affordable destination that is good for couples, seniors and even the kiddos will enjoy this destination.
