Dave Payne: Beautiful Fort Worth stopping at to see the Spanish construction.

Harrison Logan: El Morro was a fantastic visit. The informational boards around the fort did a great job of telling the history starting with the Spanish through the Spanish American war and into the current day. Because this is such an old site, it does not have the modern conveniences that buildings have today like elevators and normal size stairs and inclines, so be prepared for that. It also is all outside, so be prepared for hot and/or rainy weather. The sights from the fort are beautiful, giving a great vantage point to see the san juan harbor and old san juan. Totally worth a visit!

Juan Zuñiga: Construido entre los siglos XVI y XVIII por los españoles, su propósito principal era proteger la entrada a la bahía de San Juan de ataques marítimos.El pirata Hawkins, maestro y padrino del aún más famoso pirata Drake, sucumbió frente a este fuerte

Jason Burgos: So much scenery, culture and food in San Juan. Beautiful old city with original structures. Recommend for all to come. I will return 100 times over.

Rolfi arpasi manrique: Al igual que en El Callao, en Puerto Rico las fortificaciones españolas resguardaban las ciudades con muros y torres.Transitar por las murallas de San Juan es una experiencia única, se recorre mucha historia. Estas Murallas Fortificadas se construyeron hace muchos años para proteger la ciudad de posibles invasores, piratas o corsarios. La Muralla inicia en el Paseo de Princesa, sector cercano al Puerto de Cruceros, serpenteando a lo largo del Casco Antiguo hasta llegar el Fuerte del Morro. Tiene un espesor de 20 pies y tardó un aproximado de 150 años en completarse. La Puerta de San Juan es la entrada principal a la ciudad amurallada durante la época colonial española, un lugar muy turístico. Cuando atraviese la parte exterior del muro occidental, observará la muralla fortificada que parece impenetrable. Un camino pavimentado conocido como Paseo del Morro bordea el Morro e ingresa a la Ciudad Vieja a través de las Puertas Rojas. Para aquellos amantes de animales y particularmente de los gatos, disfrutarán tomando fotos de ellos durmiendo o tomando el sol entre las rocas costeras. Finaliza este recorrido en la entrada trasera del Castillo del Morro donde se encuentra Save the Cats, un grupo que alimenta regularmente a los gatos callejeros que merodean la zona. Esta es una importante parada para los viajeros que quieran presenciar un poco de historia y disfrutar hermosas vistas al mar desde el sector conocido como el viejo San Juan.

Ale MP: . Llevar zapato cómodo, bloqueador solar y agua natural. Para llegar, pueden hacer el recorrido desde Paseo de la Princesa, y Puerta de San Juan, vale la pena la caminada, en total desde el paseo hasta terminar el castillo son unas 2. 5 horas a 3. Pueden volar papalotes afuera del castillo y es padrísima la vista. Hay tiendas oficiales de souvenirs. Checar si los baños siguen en remodelación.

Jackie Newton: This is located over by the capital building. It is a do-able walk from the cruise terminal. It is a line of president statues on the sidewalk and plaques in order of presidents who have visited Puerto Rico. The plaques have information about them as a president and then about their visit. It is an interesting little find and easy to walk by and see the statues. If you like history then you should definitely come and check this out. It doesn’t take too much time at all.

La casa tiene una historia interesante en la que se amplió y sirvió a muchos tipos de residentes importantes. Los jardines y el terreno circundante son muy coloridos y tienen buenas vistas.

Janmarcos Cosme: **Catedral de San Juan - 5 Estrellas**La Catedral de San Juan es un lugar verdaderamente impresionante y lleno de belleza espiritual. Desde el momento en que entras, sientes una profunda sensación de paz y reverencia. La arquitectura gótica es majestuosa, con sus altas torres y vitrales coloridos que cuentan historias bíblicas y de santos.El interior es igualmente impresionante, con un altar ricamente decorado y capillas laterales que invitan a la oración y la meditación. La luz que entra a través de los vitrales crea un ambiente sereno y sagrado, perfecto para la reflexión.Además de su belleza arquitectónica, la catedral es un lugar vibrante de fe y comunidad. Los servicios son inspiradores, y siempre me siento más cerca de Dios después de asistir. El coro, con su música celestial, añade una dimensión extra de espiritualidad a cada misa.En resumen, la Catedral de San Juan es una joya tanto para los fieles como para los amantes del arte y la historia. Es un lugar que te deja con el corazón lleno y el espíritu renovado. ¡Definitivamente, merece una visita!

Jim Earp: Estuvimos nuevamente en San Juan con Royal Caribbean. Habíamos estado en la catedral antes y tenía muchas ganas de volver a verla. Caminamos, o yo caminé y mi esposa subió la colina en su silla de ruedas eléctrica. Es una caminata, pero muy buena si puedes hacerla. Está a aproximadamente un kilómetro y medio del puerto de cruceros, todo cuesta arriba. No es tan malo pero tampoco es fácil. Algunos recorridos lo llevarán a la cima de la colina en el antiguo fuerte, y podrá caminar de regreso cuesta abajo por el viejo San Juan. Me decepcionó no poder encontrar una rampa para que mi esposa entrara, pero me alegré de poder visitar este maravilloso lugar nuevamente. Si eres madrugador como nosotros, no encontrarás muchas cosas abiertas, como restaurantes, hasta más tarde.

Tina Folch: Hermoso, se podía sentir la energía espiritual.Visitado el Día de semana Tiempo de espera Sin espera Reservas recomendadas No …

LoNGsHoTTv: Plazuela La Rogativa in Old San Juan is a must-visit for its historical significance and stunning views. The Rogativa monument is striking and commemorates an important moment in Puerto Rican history. The plaza's location offers breathtaking views of San Juan Bay, especially at sunset, and the surrounding cobblestone streets and colonial buildings add to its charm. It's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere. Highly recommended for history buffs, photography enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful, scenic experience.

joelasker: La Rogativa was sculpted by Lindsay Daen of New Zealand. It is made of bronze. It was completed in 1971. Rogativa is a large procession of people making a plea to God for help. Based on a true event, when the British took control of the city by naval blockade, the procession of women and the bishop was mistakenly taken for reinforcement.

Jose R Lopez: This small but hidden park is something many miss and don't even know the history behind this sculpture. The views are breathtaking when you make a stop here. Right up the block you can purchase a local treat called "Limbers or Piragua." They are icy treats, buy some and sit back and enjoy the scenic views. You also have a view of Puerta de San Juan. One of two main entrance to enter the city walls. Also a beautiful views of the bay. Plus Casa Blanca is also near for a tour.The following information below is from the internet and I don't take credit for it. My reason on sharing is to give information about this location. Pictures are my very own plus I added more information as well. The pictures are of the area close by.La Rogativa is a famous bronze statue located in the Plazuela de la Rogativa on Caleta de las Monjas near La Puerta de San Juan. Rogativa is a Spanish word derived from the verb "rogar" meaning to plea or to supplicate. A Rogativa is a large procession of people making a plea to God for His help.British troups, led by Sir Abercrombie, took control of the city by naval blockade on April 30, 1797. The desperate governor of San Juan ordered a "rogativa."  The women, led by the bishop, marched through the streets that night. They started at the Cathedral. They sang hymns, carried torches and bells, and prayed for their city’s deliverance. The British mistook the sights and sounds as evidence of the arrival of reinforcements. Considering themselves to be outnumbered, Abercrombie’s fleet abandoned the city promptly.There are four bronze statues commemorating this event in Plazuela de la Rogativa. This group of statues pays tribute to the efforts of the townspeople and their Bishop.Lindsay Daen of New Zealand completed the statue in 1971. It stands 12-feet high in front of an old sentry box and a beautiful view of San Juan Bay. Popular belief is Rogativa marks the birth of "puertorriqueñismo," or local patriotism because it was the first time local civilian islanders fought for their island. The artist apparently buried toys under the statue after his child died at an early age.If you enjoyed the review, hit like as well.

Che Güi: The place I visited in old San Juan was an absolute gem for photography enthusiasts. It boasted a stunning landscape, providing picturesque views overlooking the magnificent San Juan harbor. However, what truly caught my attention was the somewhat creepy yet intriguing statue of religious figures that stood tall amidst the breathtaking scenery.As I stood there, gazing at the panoramic vista, I couldn't help but imagine myself transported back to the 1500s. It was as if I had stepped into history, envisioning the brave souls who once stood on this very spot, diligently watching for British ships approaching the harbor, ready to defend their land against cannonball onslaughts. The sense of history and the stories that must have unfolded in this very place sent shivers down my spine.Located in close proximity to the San Juan gate and the Fortaleza, this place proved to be an essential stop for anyone exploring old San Juan. The architectural marvel that stood before me had defied the test of time, captivating my senses with its mesmerizing design, solid construction, and visionary execution from centuries ago. It was a testament to the remarkable ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past, leaving me in awe of the human spirit.Regrettably, time constraints limited my ability to thoroughly explore this enchanting place. Nevertheless, I strongly urge future visitors to plan their itinerary with ample time to at least walk through the old gate. It promises to be an immersive experience that transports you back in time, immersing you in the rich history and captivating charm of Puerto Rico.Even if it requires renting a car, the effort, time, and money invested in reaching this remarkable location are undoubtedly worthwhile. The memories and photographs captured here will serve as a tangible reminder of an extraordinary journey through time, encapsulating the essence of Puerto Rico's vibrant past and captivating beauty. This place is truly a must-visit during your stay on the island, leaving an indelible mark on your heart and soul
