A Never Ending Challenge
Wind, rain, salt, sun, plants, people and time all do what foreign invaders never did—tear down the stone and mortar walls at Fort San Juan de la Cruz. Preventing a historic structure like El Canuelo from falling into decay is a never-ending task.
Park staff work to preserve this small fort by controlling drainage, removing plants, and repairing structural damage. You can help by staying off the walls and not writing on them or damaging them in any way.
El Canuelo is an irreplaceable reminder of our past. Please help care for it.
Marker is on Puerto Rico Route 870.
