Three Flags above El Morroby Stephen-KarenConn
Standing above the massive fortress of El Morro, at the entrance to San Juan Harbor is an interesting and unique lighthouse. The first lighthouse on this site was built in 1846, and the present one in 1876. It was damaged by shellfire from the US Navy during the Spanish-American War in 1898, and rebuilt by American military forces ten years later. This is the oldest of 15 surviving light stations that can be found in Puerto Rico.
Three flags are unfurled every day near the lighthouse on the Ochoa Bastion. They are the flags of the United States of America, the flag of Puerto Rico, and the Spanish military flag, known as the Cross of Burgundy.
