Castillo San Felipe del Morro, often referred to simply as "El Morro," is a historic fortress located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Constructed by the Spanish between the 16th and 18th centuries, it was designed to guard the entrance to San Juan Bay and defend the city from seaborne enemies. The fort's strategic position and robust architecture made it a critical point of defense for the Spanish Empire in the Caribbean.
