San Juan - El Morro - a photo on Flickriver

            Located on the headland overlooking the entrance to San Juan Bay, El Morro Fort (Castillo San Felipe del Morro) was built to protect the city of San Juan from seaborne enemies.

When it was first constructed back in 1539 El Morro was just a simple tower, the layout that you see today was designed several years later in 1587.

The fort is part of the San Juan National Historic Site. 

A view of the moat with the fort's entrance or sally port.  

In the distance is El Morro lighthouse.  The lighthouse was built in 1908 and rises 51 feet above the sixth level of El Morro.  The lamp is 182 feet above sea level and is still in use.
