San Juan

San Juan preserves stories of great ambition and aspirations. Countries fought for control of this tiny yet strategic island for centuries. Generations of soldiers lived and worked within the forts. Today, visitors are inspired both by these stories and by the beauty of the architecture and the ingenuity of the design and engineering of this World Heritage Site.
