Paseo del Morro (English: Promenade of the Morro or Morro Promenade), is a waterfront, breakwater-protected, riprap-lined pedestrian promenade about .65 miles (1.05 km) in length located in the historic district of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico that runs adjacent and parallel to the western section of the Walls of Old San Juan on San Juan Bay since its opening in 1998.[1]
The promenade starts in Catedral, the southwestern sub-barrio in Old San Juan on the San Juan Islet, at the ending location of Paseo de la Princesa (Promenade of the Princess), Puerta de San Juan (San Juan Gate), formerly known as Puerta de Agua (Water Gate), which is on the Walls of Old San Juan under La Fortaleza, the 16 century executive residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico, passes under the Bastión de San Agustín (San Agustin Bastion), Polvorín de Santa Elena (Santa Elena gunpowder depot), and Bastión de Santa Elena (Santa Elena Bastion) on the Walls of Old San Juan, and ends at the Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Ballajá, the northwestern sub-barrio in Old San Juan on the San Juan Islet overlooking San Juan Bay and Isla de Cabras (Goat Island), the small islet immediately across the bay’s entrance from El Morro where the 17th century fort of El Cañuelo was built by the Spanish to further protect the city of Old San Juan and its harbor from invasions by foreign powers and harassment by privateers and pirates during the Age of Discovery and Exploration.<ref>"Paseo del Morro".
