San Juan is the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico. Today the city surrounds Bahía de San Juan (San Juan Bay) and extends far into the interior of the Island of Puerto Rico, but historically was situated primarily on the fortified islet of San Juan. Located in the eastern Greater Antilles on the Atlantic Ocean, San Juan is one of the largest and most economically important cities in the Caribbean region. The historic city is the oldest European-established community in the United States, founded by Spanish colonists in 1521. It is home to roughly 340,000 residents and some of the foremost institutions of the island commonwealth.
