San Juan, the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico, is a historic metropolitan area that seamlessly blends colonial heritage with modern Caribbean culture. Founded in 1521, it is one of the oldest cities in the Americas.
The city is particularly known for its well-preserved historic district, Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan), which features distinctive Spanish colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and impressive fortifications including El Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal. These fortifications, now UNESCO World Heritage sites, played a crucial role in the Caribbean's colonial history.
The city has developed into a significant cultural center, hosting numerous museums, galleries, and cultural institutions that showcase both traditional Puerto Rican arts and contemporary works. San Juan's artistic landscape reflects its unique position as a meeting point of Spanish, African, and indigenous Taíno influences, creating a rich cultural tapestry that continues to evolve today.
