El Castillo de Seboruco
Castillo de Seboruco
An 18th-century fortress on high ground in the old town, now a castle hotel whose pool terrace overlooks the whole city and El Yunque.
Castillo de Seboruco was built between the late 18th and 19th centuries as the highest defensive structure in Baracoa. It has since been converted into a castle hotel. Climb the steps up the hill from the old town, and from the hotel terrace and poolside you can take in the red-tiled rooftops, the bay and the distant El Yunque mountain. It is a popular spot for panoramic photos and sunset. Non-guests can go onto the terrace after buying a drink at the bar, and the pool is open to the public at certain times for a fee.
