Featured Location: El Morro

The Castillo San Felipe del Morro is what many people think of when they think of San Juan, Puerto Rico. El Morro is a fortress that was built over hundreds of years, starting in 1539. The stunning oceanfront fort is a beautiful wedding venue for a destination wedding in Puerto Rico*. The grounds are expansive, encompassing historic stone structures, beautiful green space (sometimes used for picnics and flying kites), and breathtaking views of San Juan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. For more information on El Morro, visit the National Park Service or Puerto Rico Day Trips.
