Diane and Kyle 's Wedding
San Juan   |   June, 2008   |   Attraction

"NOTE: It's on Calle de Fortaleza, although this might not be the exact spot. Also known as El Palacio de Sta Catalina, this imposing building is the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the western hemisphere, dating from 1533. Once the original fortress for the young colony, La Fortaleza eventually yielded its military pre-eminence to the city's newer and larger forts. Puerto Rico's governors have lived here in succession for more than three centuries. If you are dressed in respectful attire, you can join a 40-minute guided tour that includes the mansion's Moorish gardens, the dungeon and the chapel. Tours generally run on weekdays except holidays; tours in English leave on the hour, in Spanish on the half hour. It's a good idea to call in advance to make sure the grounds are not closed for a government function. If you stop by La Fortaleza on a Friday or Saturday evening, you might catch the governor throwing a garden party to the rhythms of the best salsa bands on the island."
