Paseo de la Princesa (English: Promenade of the Princess or Princess Promenade), is a partially waterside 19th-century pedestrian promenade about .50 miles (0.80 km) in length located in the historic district of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico that is lined with Victorian lampposts and benches, large trees and gardens, and varying fountains and sculptures, and host to food and artisan street vendors, musical and theatrical street entertainers, and cultural restaurants and festivals.[1] Constructed between 1852 and 1854 in honor of Queen Isabella II of Spain’s first-born, Princess of Asturias Infanta Isabel, the promenade runs adjacent and parallel to the southwestern section of the Walls of Old San Juan, passing by the Antigua Prisión La Princesa(The Princess Old Prison) from 1837, currently housing the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, and through the sculptural fountain Raíces (Roots), representing Puerto Rican identity since 1992, and ending at Puerta de San Juan (San Juan Gate), the starting location of Paseo del Morro (Promenade of the Morro).[2][3]
The promenade starts at Bastión de la Derecha de San Justo y Pastor (Left-side Bastion of San Justo and Pastor) on the Walls of Old San Juan in Marina, the southernmost sub-barrio in Old San Juan on the San Juan Islet, passing through the popular Fuente Raíces (Roots Fountain), a large sculptural fountain overlooking San Juan Bay since 1992 that represents Puerto Rican identity, a mixture of Taino, Spanish, and Sub-Saharan African ancestry and culture, and ending in the southwestern sub-barrio of Catedral in Old San Juan at the beginning of the western section of the Walls of Old San Juan at Puerta de San Juan (San Juan Gate), formerly known as Puerta de Agua (Water Gate), which lies next to La Fortaleza, the 16th-century executive residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico, and is the starting location of Paseo del Morro (Promenade of the Morro), the waterfront promenade covering the rest of the western section of the defensive walls, culminating on Punta del Morro(Morro Point) at the bottom of Castillo San Felipe del Morro at the westernmost position on San Juan Islet overlooking the entrance to San Juan Bay, the Bar Channel.[4]
