Castillo San Felipe del Morro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

Lying on the northwestern-most point of the islet of Old San Juan, Castillo San Felipe del Morro is named in honor of King Philip II of Spain. The fortification, also referred to as el Morro or 'the promontory,' was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the Spanish colonial port city of San Juan from seaborne enemies.
In 1983, the el Castillo was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in conjunction with the San Juan National Historic Site. Over two million visitors a year explore the windswept ramparts and passageways making the castillo one of Puerto Rico's main visitor attractions. Facing the structure, on the opposite side of the bay, a smaller fortification known as El Cañuelo complemented the castillo's defense of the entrance to the bay.

Thank you! Yes, San Juan, PR. I used only the kit lens (18-55mm) for these pics (but PP-ed with DxO + LR3).

Really enjoyed the tour of the fortress. I love the perspective the people give the scene in #11. Looks like you had a great time there.

Thank you for commenting, Susan. Yes, I had a great day: alone, with my old K-x in the old town. I had an agreement with my wife. She enjoys sunbathing, I'm not fond of beaches; she's not fond of my talking photos while visiting a place--so... I could take my time with my camera

Looks to be a really interesting kirkyard there.

Great shots, thanks for posting.
