<b>The 400 houndred year-old castles and the battlements that encircle old San Juan are protected today as part of San Juan national historic site. begun by spanish troops in the 16th century,these massive masonry defenses are the oldest european-style fortifications with the territory of the united States. The silent bastions and batteries are constant reminders of Spain's historic power in the new world. col.Thomas O'daly,and irish born engineer,was largely responsible for creating the San Juan fortifications that stand here today.</b> |
