Troops' Quarters
Castilio San Cristobal, San Juan National Historic Park, San Juan, Puerto RIco.
San Cristobal is the less famous but my favorite of the two forts including El Morro, just to the west. It was started in the late 17th century after El Morro proved to be insufficient defense for the Spanish Colony with attacks from the English and French. Designed by an Irishman, it took 150 years to build and to my view is not just more photogenic but more complex and interesting architecturally.
