Castillo San Felipe del Morro, San Juan Bay, Puerto Rico
Castillo San Felipe del Morro — El Morro — rises 140 feet above the Atlantic Ocean at the northwestern tip of Old San Juan, its massive six-level sandstone fortification representing nearly three centuries of Spanish colonial military engineering. Guarding the entrance to San Juan Bay since the 1500s, the castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most complete examples of Spanish military architecture in the Americas, its iconic silhouette reflected in the deep blue waters of the harbor below.
