Lonely Planet review for El Arsenal

On the point of land called La Puntilla is a low, gray fortress with a Romanesque proscenium entrance. This is El Arsenal, a former Spanish naval station that was the last place to house Spanish military forces after the US victory in the Spanish-American War. Today, the arsenal is home to the fine and decorative arts divisions of the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, and hosts periodic exhibitions in three galleries.
