Synopsis "El Morro"

This book provides you with a history of the events and strategic significance surrounding the Caribbean fortress of El Morro at old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Relive the attempts of privateers and foreign invaders to take the fort from the Spanish colonial empire. A must see site in Old San Juan. . . . . . The fort is also referred to as Castillo de San Felipe de Morro and UNESCO listed the fortress as a World Heritage Site in 1933. . . . . . . Whether you want to learn more about Puerto Rico or more information about your Caribbean cruise shore excursion this provides a more in depth historical background than found in common guide books. . . . . Puerto Rico was the first place where sailing ships from Europe could obtain water and food on their journey to the New World. Spain raced to build this fortress on the edge of the known world in 1540 through to 1589; they recognized the site was critical to control the wealth of the New Spain. This was the most sophisticated fortress design of the day. . . . . . Foreign powers longed to seize this fort and the key to Spanish riches on the high seas. Follow Sir Francis Drake, the English Sea Dog, when the Spanish treasure slipped from his grasp here. Many foreign powers fought to seize San Juan for themselves.
