When you are ready – make your way across the field until you get to the entrance to the fort.Įl Morro is a huge, six-level fortress built to protect the city from sea invaders. This field is always windy, so everyone flies kites here – especially on weekends! Off to the right is the San Juan Cemetery – an interesting (though morbid) side trip.
You can’t help but see the massive Castillo de San Felipe del Morro (“El Morro”) across a large field. This article will pick up where the prior one left off. Part 1 of our Old San Juan Self Guided Walking Tour series started at the Visitor’s Center and ended just as we approached El Morro Fort.
