Next stop was at
the tip of the area where another huge fort were placed, Fuerte
San Felipe del Morro. Its an impressive fort, well worth a visit,
because of its scale, architecture and dramatic settings on the
cliffs of the bold headland overlooking the Atlantic ocean. It
have totally six levels with a lighthouse. The walls are up to 43
meters tall and 4.6 m thick. The oldest part is from 1539 and
probably the oldest spanish fort in the new world.
