     Location at a crossroads and its openness to water shaped the port in San Juan. It quickly lifted the city to the prominence of influential transportation hub and a powerhouse of the region. The city became a home to the Inquisition in the Medieval Age, but 20 years later it had abandoned this severe reputation. The success of San Juan allured pirates to the area and it was once captured by forces of conqueror George Clifford.

     But San Juan lost its initial importance when neighboring Lima and New Mexico started to grow under Spanish rule. Despite the city taking a back seat to the leaders of the ''New World'', it still remained a military post due to its strategic setting. With Native American rule in the area a few industries started to breathe, but that growth was disturbed by the Great Depression.

     Soon the city of San Juan decided to profit from its Caribbean setting. Thus, it changed interest from industries toward tourism and service-based jobs. Actually, the city has evolved into oil refining, sugar processing and brewing to satisfy own needs, but it is more of top Caribbean destination. Today tourists flock to the city for its great outdoors like excellent beaches, top-notch entertainments, forests and a cave complex.
