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.”
