- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to contribute to clarify information about the San Francisco de Paula battery, built in the south of the city of San Juan of Puerto Rico. The aim of this fort was to avoid a possible enemy disembarkation. Apart from being mentioned by few authors, the exact moment of the construction of this fortification is not well-known. However, the graphic and documentary sources analyzed for this study confirm that it was erected at the end of the 18th century by the Spanish-born military engineer, Juan Francisco Mestre.
