The beads of the Caribbean Sea - San Juan National Historic Site in Puerto Rico has a very special place, that is San Juan, the city is coastal, divided into new and old two cities, the new city is full of high-rise buildings, everywhere is modern buildings, But what I remember is the old city, which is only a ruined wall. The military base is said to have been built in 1511 and is similar to a normal castle, but because it is built on the island by the sea, it is an important military base at the time. Walking on the edge of the city wall, the remaining foundation can also see the position of the city wall. There are still a few rusty cannons on the platform on the seaside facing the sea. I stand near the cannon and listen to it. I can hear the rumbling gun sound, and then listen carefully. It was like the sound of waves beating against the rocks. There was also a small museum inside the three flag castle, which we didn't visit because of the rush of time. While hanging around, we saw some of the arches on the ground floor from time to time, which seemed to be a warehouse or a tunnel. Three flags were inserted in the fort, in addition to the Star-Spangled Banner of the United States, the Spanish Army Banner, and the flag of Puerto Rico representing independence. Three different flags were fluttering in the wind, as if telling people about the glory of the year. ★ Open time: Open at 9:00 am~end at 6:00 pm ★ Tickets: USD7/person Tips: The place is not very big, but it is suitable for leisurely strolling. If you are lucky, you can also encounter a free tour bus.

    San Juan National Historic Site (La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site) located on the edge of the Sino-American Islands, built in 1511, is a military base to protect the Spanish colony, which is of great strategic significance. The historic site of the ancient castle of San Juan is a typical military complex built in combination with European military architecture and the actual situation of the continental port of the United States.

    The historic site of San Juan, located on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico, was built in 1511 during the Spanish colonial rule, as a military fortification protecting the West Indies and the Spanish Empire, including fortifications, outlying positions, ammunition depots, city walls, moats, etc. The expansion and reinforcement of the following centuries served to prevent foreign aggression. In the 1898 American-Western War, the United States defeated Spain and since then Puerto Rico has belonged to the United States.

    When it comes to revisiting the old place, San Juan is really revisiting the old place. I didn't feel any changes in this historic Caribbean city. Five years ago, I flicked a finger at the ancient city. The castle in the wind and the sea, the colorful old city, memory and time slowly crossed the bluestone slab of the old city with the footsteps

    It's really nice here. There are two big castles. Bell-shaped attic is the feature here. Also, I heard there are many cats. Some streets are paved with blue stones. They are very beautiful. Here you can take a free bus tour. In urban areas, you can take 53, 21 and other buses, 75 cents per person.

    Puerto Rico National Historical Museum Site Castle, also known as the Morro Fortress (castle), was built in 1539, when pirates rampaged, the Spanish merchant fleet used it as a base, the fortress has experienced many wars, has experienced several restorations, and was selected for the World Heritage List in 1983. This is one of the must-visit attractions, belonging to the Spanish-style fortress of San Juan, built by the sea, the plot has a history of nearly 500 years or so, mainly used to resist the sea and ground attack, this is also the largest defense facility built by the Spaniards here. The castle successfully resisted the invasion of the English and Dutch, and the scenery was beautiful, overlooking the entire Old San Juan city and the coastline from high, and it was refreshing to see the blue sea level of the sky and earth, and it seemed to hear the rumbling of guns again, and the faint pirate fleet. In the castle, you can play for a day, or spend a day in a daze, blowing the sea breeze, this is the best place to take pictures, the years have left countless mottled marks on the city wall, rusting cannons, and the blue sea water wrapped in huge waves in the distance. It is easy to let people enter the space-time tunnel of Siyuxuan. See the world at the edge
