The walls of San Cristobal rise more than 100 feet above the sea..tunnels and dry moats connect the center of the fort to its outworks, a series of trenches, traps, bunkers and bastions arranged defensively, layer upon layer over a 27 acre site.
The fort was linked by tunnels and mining galleries and some of them were used as dungeons for soldiers not obeying the Spanish Army regulations or for others with different political beliefs to the commanding powers.
San Cristobal is connected to El Morro by half a mile of massive walls filled with cannon-firing positions and garitas (sentry boxes)Cannons used at that time were known by their names and the place and year of their construction was artistically engraved on the upper part of the cannon.
