Did you know that in 1595 Francis Drake led one of the three major English attacks on San Juan? His objective was the capture of a Spanish treasure ship that was in San Juan Harbor. Spanish defenders successfully repelled the English raiders. Drake would die a few months later during another ultimately failed attack on Panama. He was buried at sea wearing his armor.

Learn more about this and many other exciting historical events tied to San Juan's old forts on our Free Audio Guides of El Morro and San Cristóbal Castles.
