| Description |
Officially Castillo de San Felipe del Morro Lighthouse, also known as Port San Juan Light, Faro de Morro or Faro del Castillo del Morro or Puerto San Juan Light, is a lighthouse atop the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan. It's the first lighthouse built in Puerto Rico. The first Port San Juan Lighthouse was built in 1846 and exhibited a light using five parabolic reflectors. In 1876, a new octagonal iron tower was constructed atop the walls of the fort . The tower was hit by U.S. artillery fire in the Puerto Rican Campaign of the Spanish-American War. The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1908 as an Moorish Revival style "square tower on castle". There is no public admission into the tower, but El Morro Fort, along with Fort San Cristobal and much of the city walls as part of the San Juan National Historic Site is open to the public |
