Ji ོqìnღ:“The name "Morro Castle" comes from the terrain where the castle is located. "Morro" means "coastal cliff" in Spanish, so "Morro Castle" is actually "a castle on a cliff on the coast". There are three "castles" in the world, all designed by the same architect. The official name of this Morro Castle in Santiago is: "Castillo del Morro SAN PEDRO DE LA ROCA". Because the castle is still intact and well preserved, it was awarded the title of "Human Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO on December 7, 1977. According to historical records, the proposal to build the castle was proposed by Pedro de la Roca y Borja, the then Spanish Governor in Santiago, and the castle was later named after him.”
