- Castillo San Felipe del Morro also known as Fort San Felipe del Morro or Morro Castle, is a 16th-century citadel located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
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 castillo, making it one of Puerto Rico's leading tourist 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.

Que orgullo siento de ser puertorriqueña!!
Igualmente🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Been there in 1985. Lived in Ft.Buchanan Puerto Rico because my dad was stationed there from 1985 to 1988. What a wonderful life.
Very old historic area. Many lives have been lost there. If those walls could speak it would be something to hear the stories
Frederick Giordani if the walls can speak they will say to you how Puerto Ricans crush the British Empire in 1791
i was five years old flying chiringas in the nearby field around 1984. i remember the smell of the castle, it was an old mildew smell and the creepy old entrance. its incredible to think that quite possibly one my ancestors may have helped guard the old castle.
Or a slave to build El Morro.
@@royressy9974 you mean your oppressors guarded it
@@gboogie360 "the Jewish onslaught " by professor Tony Martin proved who ran and operated the transatlantic slave trade and it was not European white man .
¡¡¡😙💕Mí bella Isla de el encanto!!! Puerto Rico 🌊🌴🏖🌞
Mi isla del encanto puertorico 💖 que hermoso es lo amo
God only knows what is in the depth of those waters, how many people made to rest there. From Spanish soldiers, to English soldiers to Pirates.
Nice video El Castillo del Morro , great memories from my childhood , hope I can bring my children there so they can see it too , hopefully soon ....
Mrs. Hernández, Christian Callahan watched this Video. Blessings..!!!
Great job! I must say that this has been the best video of that castle that I've seen on RUclips so far . Thanks for posting.
Castillo San Felipe Del Morro is definitely the best ever historic museum and so is the San Cristobal. Also the San Juan Bautista Catedral.
A really nice video of San Juan Pueto Rico.
I was there 2 weeks ago ,beautiful
Puertorico 💖 único lo amo
Excellent video! Thank you!
Tantas memorias tan lindas ahí dei niñez. Volando chiringas. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tiene la bandera del Imperio Español
Who remember the trees that were on the sides of the road to the castle?
Si hay algo que me encanta de el morro es su historia
lo mejor de puertorico es que lo puedes recorrer todito en un dia..y todo cerca
A lot of Ghosts and shadows have been seeing wandering around that castle and those historical features on that hill, @ 2:37 in the video it was rumored that the inside of the viewpoint was a Vortex at 3 am a lot of people use to go there and usually do drugs or go with their GF but sometimes others just dissapeared and we're never seen again.
Awe some beautiful
TENIA DE 4 MIL 5 SOLDADOS FRANCIS DRAKE NO LOS PUDO DERROTAR.

Letra del Poema. Sola de Jose Yumet Mendez

Indeed very nice.
by any chance did you used camera stabilizer?
Anjan Ghosh Nope. This was all shot handheld. Thanks for watching!!
Dude, this reminds me of the old fort in St. Agustine, Florida 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
The spanish built all those forts around the Caribbean and the one in St Agustíne Castillo San Marcos This castillo or castle in San Juan PR believe is to be biggest of them all as a matter of a fact Juan Ponce de Leon set sail from San Juan and discovered what is known to be the oldest city in USA St Agustíne the US was almost a Spanish speaking country if it wasn’t cause the brits
@@edwinhernandez3854😊
Lindo...
El CASTILLO MÁS GRANDE CONSTRUIDO POR EL IMPERIO ESPAÑOL EN TODAS LAS AMERICAS FUE EL CASTILLO DE SAN CRISTOBAL EN SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO..Y LE LLAMARON "EL GIBRALTAR DE LAS AMERICAS."
Been there many times
I can't believe you didn't film the cruise ship entering the harbor
love it
I was there today
Did the castle changed i remember it didn’t look like in the first part.
En el castillo del morro hay que dejar sólo la bandera de Puerto Rico
CRISTOBAL COLON SALIO DE PUERTO PALOS
EN LA GRAN CIUDAD DE CADIZ
ESPAÑA OK BORICUAS NO SE
LE OLVIDE.
Sigfredo Esteves de qué carajo tú hablas loco Silvestre ? Jajajaja el primer gobernador de Puerto Rico fue Juan Ponce de León no Cristóbal Colón jajajajajajaj
Sigfredo Esteves aparte de que Cristóbal Colón salió del puerto de palos en la provincia de Huelva no desde Cádiz
That' sign should be in Spanish as well it was my mother's Spain that created El Felipe del morro 15th century fort que viva mi madre España el Imperio más grande del mundo la gloriosa España el Imperio más grande de la historia
Like cowards they fled and didn't fight for island
@@TJonLongIsland It's just English propaganda. You only have to look at the USA and the Hispanic countries to see that the Anglo-Saxons massacred the vast majority of the population. There are hardly any Native Americans left in the U.S., and the ones left are in the part of the U.S. that robbed Mexico.
Spain left 25 universities and hundreds of hospitals in America. England did not create any universities in the 13 colonies.
@@isaiastorres9257 There was nothing to do, USA was an emerging power. After the war of secession, they began the conquest of the west, and after finishing it they began their expansion in the creation of their own empire.
What is incredible is that a nation born of the 13 colonies has the little shame of having colonies.
Your people ruined Taino society. This belongs to US BORICUAS now we are a mix of African Taino and Spaniard no longer just one but all
there's another one in Cartagena de Indias Colombia, much bigger.
the biggest ever built by spain in the new world is san cristobal in old san juan .P.R

Cartagena looks incredible! As a huge lover of old stone forts and walled cities, it's always been high on my list of places to visit. I was last in Latin America six years ago, sadly I hadn't heard of it at the time.
Are you talking out of your ass ? Or just being that jealous hater Puerto Rico is the first nation in the Americas the Cartagena one was built 200 years later El morro de Felipe the Father the king of Spain was built in the 15th century so good one dumbass HaHaHaHa
the sourounding walls look like the wall of intamuros manila Philippines :)

Ese lugar tenés que regarle agua bendita
Muy parecido a las murallas de cartagena
Normalmente no se debe llamar San Felipe del Morro sino San Felipe " El Morro ". Esto es debido a que todas las fortalezas de defensa espanolas de la epoca que estaban al frentede una Bahia o una ciudad se llaman asi. El morro o josico del animal, lo que esta al frente, osea lo primero que te encuentras cuando vas enfrentarte a el.
Modesto Diaz Berrios seguro que NO qué clase ridículo ese Es un escudo en la puerta ningún animal jajajajajajaj tú no sabes nada de mi madre España yo sé más que tú tú no sabes nada de mi gente de Puerto Rico yo sé más que tú cuando construyeron el morro ?
Y los cañones, dónde están no me digan que en colecciones privadas... No los veo..
Like si crees que es mejor el castillo de San Felipe pero el de Cartagena Colombia 🇨🇴
EL FUERTE DE SAN JUAN ERA EL FUERTE MAS GRANDE DE LAS
AMÉRICAS Y SE GUARDABA EL ORO DE MEJICO Y PERU PARA LLEVARLO A ESPAÑA OK.
Sigfredo Esteves seguro que no jajajajajajaj el morro es un castillo Fortín y cárcel ahí no se guardaba ningún tesoro no sea ridículo el tesoro de Perú y México se lo llevaban en galeones directamente para España tú no sabes ni una carambola de mi cultura puertorriqueña española
El morro de Cuba .as grande y mas bonito

Ni francis drake pudo derribar las murallas, los únicos que invadieron a puerto rico fueron los Estados unidences
Deberías de preocuparte por ti, yo se de mi historia el que veo que no sabe de la suya es usted
Morón!
Veo que hasta los libros de historia le restringieron al pobre😂😂 ni hablar
Si le da mucha pereza entonces vea wikipedia ahí se entera, dato curioso la fortificación de puerto rico y la de su Cuba fueron hecha la por el mismo ingeniero antonelli lo único que el de la de nosotros es más grande!
Ahh! Pero veo que ves de nuestra historia y la críticas por que será....
No será que las orejas se le salen y la cola también, no ofendo al burro por que sabe más que tu.
@@world3398 cabe notar que también la fortificación de puerto rico es un poco más antigua que la de Cuba
