Located along the Atlantic Ocean just outside the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro fortress,…read moreSanta María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery is worth a stop. This beautiful, historic colonial-era cemetery located along the water is a very peaceful final resting place for many of Puerto Rico's most prominent citizens. Construction began in 1863. It was named to honor Saint Maria Magdalena de Pazzi. The prominent location along the Atlantic Ocean was due to the colonial Spanish Puerto Rican government's views on life and death. Death was seen as an unknown, a mystery, which created fear and anxiety. The cemetery was constructed as a bridge that overlooked the Atlantic Ocean to help the deceased spirit's journey to bridge, or cross over, to the afterlife. To visit the cemetery, drive through a short tunnel on Calle Tiburcio Reyes or enjoy the views as you walk along the grass fields at the enclosing walls. Take care as the surrounding La Perla district is not the safest in Old San Juan. We just enjoyed the views from the tops of the walls.

Great visit to Castillo San Felipe del Morro on a Sunday morning…read more Arrived when they opened up at 9am and there was no wait to get in. Spectacular views of the castle itself as well the surrounding areas. Lots of history about the castle displayed through some great exhibits. Lots of walking, hills and some stairs throughout...so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Great gift shop. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Admission fee is $10, but grants access to Castillo San Felipe del Morro as well as the nearby Castillo San Cristobal up until the following day...so be sure to take advantage and visit both within that period. There is a reasonably-priced nearby parking garage (Ballaja Parking Garage) just a short walk to the entrance. There is also free street parking along Bulevar del Valle in the early morning hours.

Checking out El Morro (Castillo San Felipe del Morro) in San Juan, PR was 1 of those experiences…read morethat really stays w/ you long after you leave. This historic Spanish fort was built in the 1500s & played a major role in defending San Juan from sea attacks during the colonial era. Walking through it, you can really feel the weight of that history. The thick stone walls, open courtyards, tunnels, and lookout points all reflect how strategic & intense life had to be back then, especially w/ the constant threat of war & invasion. What really hit me most emotionally was just being there & taking it all in. Standing on the grounds overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, it was easy to imagine what it must have been like centuries ago(soldiers watching the horizon, waiting for ships to appear). There's something powerful about physically being in a place that played such a major role in PR's history. It was honestly a really memorable moment for me. Not just b/c of what I learned, but b/c of how it felt being surrounded by so much history in 1 place. It gave me a deeper appreciation for San Juan & the stories built into the island itself.
