- La Fortaleza - Palacio de Santa Catalina - Known as The Fortress, this is the official residence of Puerto Rico’s governors. It was the first fortification constructed in San Juan harbor. The original tower, now called Torre del Homenaje or “tower of homage,” remains standing. Its name comes from a local tradition where the governor ascends the tower to make a solemn vow of loyalty and bravery during perilous times.
