    La Fortaleza is the Governor's mansion. It is located here in Old San Juan at the western section at the end of Fortaleza Street and faces the bay.

    The Fortaleza is the home of several governors since the Spanish and American colonial rule. It's a beautiful mansion which was originally built as a fortress in 1540 and has gone through several restorations throughout this long history.

    There are several free tours in English and Spanish and proper attire is a must.

    Please Note: This is a World Heritage Site.

    A short little walk brings you out the San Juan Gate to La Fortaleza. This area is kept up very nicely with flowers and a dock out over the water. This is now the official residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico. It was built between 1533 and 1550 to defend the harbor of San Juan. This is the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the Americas and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
