San Juan, the island's capital founded in 1521, is the oldest capital city under the United States' flag. It has three major fortresses, a charming collection of antique buildings, scores of museums, monuments and shops, as well as a modern business center. The Columbus Quincentennial of 1992 sparked a major refurbishing in the Old City, where one will find some of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial architecture in the New World.
