10. Plazuela de la Rogativa (Plaza of the Procession)

A visit to this historic site should be on every tourist's itinerary. A wonderful bronze statue of three women in a procession commemorates a miraculous event that took place in 1797. With the British fleet anchored outside the walls of San Juan and blocking any incoming supplies, the citizens waited in desperation for inland reinforcements to arrive. The governor ordered a "rogativa" to ask the saints for assistance. As the women in the city marched through the streets carrying torches, the British believed reinforcements had arrived and abandoned their siege.   (© 10Best)
