La Puerta de San Juan

La Puerta de San Juan is the end of “El paseo de La Princesa” and when the city of San Juan was turned into a fortress, five walls were built into them. The walls were closed in order to protect themselves from attacks by land or sea. To this day only one stands and that one is La Puerta de San Juan where governors and religious authorities passed through. The scripture on top of the door is from the Benedictus, a hymm found in the Gospel of Luke from the New Testament. The scripture says “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
