Nā mea a pau e pono eʻike e pili ana i ka Puʻupuʻu nui loa o San Juan
Ka MōʻaukalaʻIke
Me kahi kokoke i 150 kapuaʻi ma mua aʻe o kaʻilikai,ʻo kahi Castille de San Cristóbal (St Christopher's Castle) kekahi wahi nui e kū nei ma ka hikina hikina o Old San Juan . Ua kūkuluʻia ma kahiʻoi aku o 20 makahiki (1765-1785),ʻo San Cristóbal i hala aku i 200 mau makahiki ma mua o Castillo San Felipe del Morro (i kapa mauʻiaʻo El Morro),ʻo ia ka pūʻali koa Puerto Rico i kēlā manawa.
Akā naʻe, he mea nui e pono ai i nā pā o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻOiaiʻo El Morro mālama i ke kai kūʻono, mālamaʻo San Cristóbal i ka'āina hikina o Old San Juan. ʻO ke kūkuluʻana i kahi pā kaua e pale ana i ke kūlanakauhale mai kahi hoʻouka kaua'āina ua hōʻoiaʻia he holomua akamai. I ka makahiki 1797, ua kōkua ka pā i ka hoʻoneʻe kauaʻana iā Sir Ralph Abercrombie.
Mai ka nānāʻana i ka'enehi kiʻi,ʻo San Cristóbal a me El Morro he mau hale kākela,ʻaʻohe puʻuhonua, akā he hana nui kaʻoihana koa i hanaʻia. ʻO ka hoʻolālāʻana o San Cristobal he mea maʻalahi, a hahai i keʻano hōʻailona i kapaʻiaʻo "pale-hohonu." ʻO ka hale kākela he nui nā papa,ʻo kēlā me kēia pā pōhaku a paʻa i paʻa i ka hana e hoʻonele ai a hoʻolālā i kaʻenemiʻaʻole hoʻokahi manawa, akā he mau manawa. E hele i loko o ka pākaua i kēia lā e hōʻike mai iāʻoe i kona papahana kūpono aʻole maikaʻi.
Uaʻike ka pākaua i kāna mahele kaua. Ua hoʻomaka ia i ke kumu Spanish mua loa o ke kauaʻAmelika-ʻAmelika. I ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II, ua hoʻokau ka US i nā pākuʻi i kona mau paia waho.
Ma o ia mea a pau, ua kū i nā ho'āʻo o ka manawa a me ke kaua. Eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki 1942, ua hoʻokomo ka US i nā mea hoʻolālā pūʻali a me nā pillboxes i ka hale paʻahao, kahi e hoʻohaunaeleʻia ana mai ka hale hana mua, aʻaʻole nō hoʻi he hale mālama maka i kēia lā.
ʻImiʻIkepili Kūkaʻikaʻi nui
ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻiʻana iā San Cristóbal e hāʻawi iāʻoe i ka manawa e hele ai ma luna o kou pāpale e hiki ke nānā i ka pahu o nā pūkuniahi ma nā moku kū moku e kau ana ma San Juan Bay , a ma El Morro ma ka hikina o ke kūlanakauhale kahiko.
Hiki iāʻoe ke hele i loko o Garita , aiʻole ka pahu kiʻi, a nānā i nā wai. A ua hiki iāʻoe keʻike i ke kauʻana o San San Juan i mua ou.
ʻO ka'āpana e hui ana iā El Morro a me San Cristobal ka mea i kapaʻiaʻo San Juan National Historic Site a ke hoʻohanaʻia nei e ka National Park Service. Ma kahi hoʻolālā pilikino-maikaʻi, hoʻokomo i ka pae he $ 5 wale nō, e like me ka Pūnaewele Pūnaewele, a iāʻoe ke koho e nānā i ka pūnaewele a iʻole e hele i kahi huakaʻi alakaʻi. Inā kohoʻoe i kēia hope,ʻo ia kaʻoihana kaʻawale, hiki iāʻoe ke manawa e hoʻopaʻa i hoʻokahi o nā bayonets ma ka pā kaua o ka koa, e huli i nā tunnels ma lalo, aiʻole e aʻo nui e pili ana i ka moolelo o ka hale kākela.
ʻO nā hora hoʻolālā no ka papa he 9 am a hiki i ka 6 pm i kēlā lā i kēia lā a ua weheʻia i ka lehulehu a puni, ka ua a me ka'ō. Ma muli o ke koʻikoʻi o nā manawa kūpono weliweli, hiki ke pani i ka pā, no laila e nānā pono i ka pūnaewele no kaʻike i kēia lā. Hiki i nā keiki o nā makahiki a pau keʻaeʻia, inā lōkahi lākou e hele pū ana me kekahi kanaka makua. Hāʻawiʻia nā pipi ma ka pā o San Juan National Historic Site, akā,ʻaʻole ma nā wahi paʻa.
