- Part of the largest and best-preserved Spanish fortifications in the New World. Sited at the entrance to San Juan Bay to protect the city from sea attacks and serve as the gateway to New Spain. Started in 1540, it took 250 years to take its present form. It has 6 levels, reaches a height of 140 feet and has walls up to 20 feet thick. A unit of the US National Park Service since 1949 and a World Heritage Site since 1983. A great tour.
