Old San Juan - El Arsenal

El Arsenal in Old San Juan is a low, gray fortress with a Roman arched entrance. The structure was built in 1800, and existed as a naval station and home to the Spanish military following the Spanish-American War. El Arsenal is worth of visit both for its historical significance as well as its current occupant, which is a division of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. Visitors will find three galleries with fine and decorative arts, adding a unique flare to this old fortress.

El Arsenal can be found on La Puntilla, jutting out to the south of Old San Juan.
