The Battle of San Juan was a military and naval action on June 15, 1598 when an English force of 20 ships and 1,700 men under Sir George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, overwhelmed and took the Spanish fortress Castillo San Felipe del Morro and thus took the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. They were able to hold the castle for 65 days but disease took its toll and the English forces left, but not before sacking and burning San Juan to the ground. It was this attack that proved to be the only one to ever break through and capture El Morro castle.

  • La batalla de San Juan fue una acción militar y naval el 15 de junio de 1598 cuando una fuerza inglesa de 20 barcos y 1700 hombres bajo el mando de George Clifford de Cumberland, abrumó y tomó la fortaleza española Castillo San Felipe del Morro y así tomó la ciudad de San Juan, en Puerto Rico. Pudieron mantener el castillo durante 65 días pero la enfermedad se cobró su precio y las fuerzas inglesas se marcharon, pero no antes de saquear y quemar San Juan hasta los cimientos. Fue este ataque el único que logró penetrar y capturar el castillo de El Morro.​ (es)
  • La battaglia San Juan (1598) (detta anche seconda battaglia di San Juan) fu un'azione militare e navale che si tenne il 15 giugno 1598 tra una forza inglese di 20 navi e 1700 uomini al comando di Sir George Clifford, conte di Cumberland e la fortezza spagnola del Castillo San Felipe del Morro che i primi riuscirono a conquistare con l'annessa città di San Juan, Porto Rico. Gli inglesi furono in grado di mantenere il castello per 65 giorni ma la malattia ebbe il sopravvento e pertanto le restanti forze si prepararono a partire, non prima di aver saccheggiato e messo a ferro e fuoco San Juan.
