Castlas of FL Moro.

There are two things about San Juan
which are TO be found In almost every
part Of Spanish America where there
are mountains or highlands One Is
the statue Of Columbus; the other Is
the castle Of El Moro. Most people
Of the United States are more familiar
with Morro castle In Havana. When
they hear there is another Moro at
Santiago In Cuba and then another In
Porto Rico they wonder what It means
The explanation is quite simple. These
castles or citadels are located on pro-
jecting necks Of high land which domi-
nate the harbor entrances. El Moro
In Spanish simply means "the snout"
Some Of the picturesqueness Of the
term seems to disappear when We
speak Of snout Of land, but IL Is very
good geographical terminology.-Chris-
