Step back in time and enter the city through the historic La Puerta de San Juan, the last remaining of the six gates that once served as entrances through the old town’s protective walls. Observe the thickness of the wall as you pass through the gate, and witness the beautiful, romantic town open up before you. Try a refreshing "piragua," a popular local drink, from one of the street vendors, and stroll the cobbled streets, observing beautiful architecture of this World Heritage Site.

There is not much to say. It is a gate, through which people would enter San Juan from the Atlantic. It has a nice view and leads to the malecon. Nice to walk through if you are in area.

If you like history this place is wonderful. Definitely pop by and check out the gate in the wall around San Juan where the dignitaries would arrive and be received. Definitely check it out either on your way to or on your way from the fort in old San Juan.

Nice place to stop and wander with coffee. Street between the church and gate is beautiful with many cute cats lounging around.
