Built from 1634 until 1765, for centuries the Castillo San Cristóbal has been standing guard at the eastern gate of Old San Juan. The imposing fortress was built to guard the city from enemies approaching by land, serving as a counterpart to Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The citadel covers over 27 acres and is the largest one made by the Spaniards in the New World. Fort San Cristóbal, as it is also known, defended the San Juan Bay from foreign attacks, such as the Battle of San Juan in 1797, perpetrated by Ralph Abercromby. The vast esplanade is a great place to explore around and enjoy the beautiful view of Old San Juan. This whole system, which is San Juan National Historic Site of defense, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983.

This massive 27-acre series of fortifications, walled & heavily fortified citadel built 1765-1785 is the largest of the Spanish-built forts in the New World. “San Juan's second stone fortress, San Cristobal is less famous than El Morro, but it's the largest stone fortification that the Spanish built in the New World. And on weekends, you can get even more 'off the beaten path' on guided tours that delve deep into underground passageways that are usually closed to the public.” Tips: • Tours are on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive before the tour time to ensure you get a spot. • Don’t confuse this free activity with the "official" guided fort tours, which have an admission fee. • The park service offers many other guided tours and programs, including a Lantern Light Tour that explores the life of Spanish soldiers. Plan to stay: 1-2 hours Address: Calle Norzagaray | Old San Juan, San Juan 00901
