San Cristóbal has an extensive tunnel system designed to move men, supplies, and cannons during battles. Tunnels could also be used as mining galleries, if they were loaded with gunpowder to be able to block enemy access in a battle.

El Castillo de San Cristóbal tiene un sistema de túneles diseñados para mover soldados y cañones durante las batallas. También se usaban como galerías minadas, en las cuales almacenaban pólvora dentro de nichos para explotarla y evitar que el enemigo entrara.
