Mysterious Hallways - Castillo de San Cristóbal, San Juan Puerto Rico

Mysterious Hallways - Castillo de San Cristóbal, San Juan Puerto Rico – ca. 1765

            Castillo de San Cristóbal is a fortress in San Juan, Puerto Rico, built by Spain in 1765 to protect against attacks on the city. It is the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World.  Puerto Rico was attacked many times by European countries from the 15th through 19th centuries, but in 1797, the fortress successfully repelled a land based attack on San Juan by a British invasion force of 7,000 to 13,000 men.
