<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 444153, member: 6036&quot;]I think that&#039;s a <i>garista</i> - a station for a guard or sentry. Barely big enough for one guy. They&#039;ve got slots in &#039;em to slide a musket through.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The fort <i>El Morro</i> in Condado San Juan has many of these... looking over the ocean. Amazing to stand in one of those and imagine the men who stood there 450 years ago, guarding San Juan harbor. The fort has walls 20 feet thick. Incredible place.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m a little fuzzy, but I think Columbus&#039; son Diego Colon was running the show when <i>El Morro</i> was built. I also think this very harbor is where Columbus landed on his second trip to the New World.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
