It was built in 1955 and listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Its modern architecture reflects changes to the Court after the establishment of Puerto Rico's new Commonwealth Status in 1952. The main façade is oriented toward the sites of the other two government's branches: the Capitol and La Fortaleza (the Governor's Mansion).It is a concrete building designed by Puerto Rican firm Toro-Ferrer with design consultation by Charles H. Warner Jr. and Harold Eliot Leeds. The building projects over a reflecting pool, helping it to blend with the park surroundings in Luis Muñoz Rivera Park.The court building was opened in 1956 with U.S. Supreme Court chief justice Earl Warren as the main speaker. The building has been described as "extroverted...light and airy". Its circular courtroom was a unique element meant to symbolize the equality of people.The Supreme Court in Puerto Rico is the highest court in the commonwealth, and is the successor to court first established by the Spanish in 1832.

This edition of masters athletics Championships had a minimum age limit of 35 years for women and 40 years for men. The governing body of this series is World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA). WAVA was formed during meeting at the inaugural edition of this series at Toronto in 1975, then officially founded during the second edition in 1977, then renamed as World Masters Athletics (WMA) at the Brisbane Championships in 2001. : 56 This Championships was organized by WAVA in coordination with a Local Organising Committee (LOC) led by José F.

The Luis Muñoz Rivera Park (or Parque Luis Muñoz Rivera in Spanish) is a 27.2 acre (110,000 m2) recreational public space located in Puerta de Tierra in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The park was named in honor of Puerto Rican statesman Luis Muñoz Rivera. It is the largest public square in the San Juan metropolitan area.

El Escambrón Beach (Spanish: Balneario del Escambrón) is a public-access beach located in the San Juan Antiguo sub-district (subbarrio) of Puerta de Tierra, next to the Luis Muñoz Rivera Park in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The beach and recreational complex are located on the grounds of the former Escambrón Beach Club and Hotel which featured a large swimming pool enclosed by breakwaters. Although the pool no longer exists, the beach is still enclosed by a series of coral reefs and other natural breakwaters, such as the Peñón de San Jorge reef, making it popular for swimmers and families.In addition to the beach, El Escambrón features a recreational park, the Third Millennium Park (Parque Tercer Milenio), and the ruins of an artillery battery known as the Escambrón Battery (Batería del Escambrón). This battery formed part of a larger military advance line (Línea de Avanzada del Boquerón), a series of military fortifications found along the eastern end of the Islet of San Juan that can still be seen in the form of batteries, gunpowder warehouses and fortresses such as the Fortín de San Gerónimo de Boquerón.

Fortín de San Gerónimo de Boquerón is a small fort located at the mouth of the Condado Lagoon, across from the historic sector of Miramar in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was built during the 18th century to replace a smaller battery (called El Boquerón) that stood at the easternmost end of the San Juan islet. The original Boquerón battery was used by the Spanish to defend the city of San Juan from attacks by Sir Francis Drake in 1595 and George Clifford, the third Earl of Cumberland in 1598, who managed to destroy it during his attack. San Gerónimo became part of San Juan's first line of defense, along with the Fortín San Antonio and Escambrón Fort, while the last line of defense was the formidable Castillo San Cristóbal, which guarded the city entrance proper and also defended from land attacks.

The Advanced Defense Line (Spanish: Línea Avanzada) is a historic district consisting of four structures that formed part of the eastern defensive system of the Islet of San Juan in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

El Boquerón is a body of water located at the intersection of the Condado Lagoon and the San Antonio Channel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This body of water separates the Islet of San Juan, where Old San Juan and Puerta de Tierra are located, from El Condado and the Isla Grande peninsula in Santurce. It is separated from the San Antonio Channel by the San Antonio Bridge and from the Condado Lagoon by the Dos Hermanos Bridge. This body of water contains coral reef and habitats important to plant and animal life; it is part of the bigger San Juan Bay National Estuary. These bodies of water are often visited by manatees. The Playita del Condado (Spanish for "Condado's little beach") is located at the eastern end of El Boquerón. As the natural border between the original settlement of San Juan and the mainland of Puerto Rico, El Boquerón was a critical strategic point throughout the history of the city. Numerous bridges crossed it throughout the history, most of which would be burned down during British and Dutch invasions. The Fortín de San Gerónimo del Boquerón, also known as San Jerónimo Fortress, was built during the 18th century to replace an older fortress then known as Fort Boquerón Battery, which was used in 1595 and 1598 by the Spanish to defend San Juan from attacks by Sir Francis Drake and George Clifford, the 3rd Earl of Cumberland, respectively. Other forts that no longer exist on this body of water include Fort San Antonio (today occupied by San Antonio Bridge) and Fort Escambrón (today the area of the Caribe Hilton Hotel and the Escambrón Cove).El Boquerón used to be the site of a natural landmark known locally as Perro de Piedra (Stone Dog) or Piedra del Perro (Dog Rock), a reef formation resembling the shape of a sitting dog when seen from Dos Hermanos Bridge. Numerous legends were attributed to the rock formation. The rock used to be so well known that it (and its surrounding coral reef) was declared a cultural and natural landmark in the year 2000. The Piedra del Perro formation stood until 2016 when it was completely destroyed by strong waves.

Fortín de San Antonio was a fortification built by the Spanish in San Juan, Puerto Rico with the aim of fortifying the San Antonio Bridge. The bridge was of great strategic importance, given that it was the only land accessible entrance to the islet of San Juan. It was located southeast of Fortín de San Gerónimo.
