Castillo Serrallés
Museums / Galleries, Houses / Mansions, Ponce
Fodor's Review:
This lovely Spanish-style villa -- such a massive house that people in the town below referred to it as a castle -- was built in the 1930s for Ponce's wealthiest family, the makers of Don Q rum. Guided tours give you a glimpse into the lifestyle of a sugar baron. A highlight is the dining room, which has the original hand-carved furnishings. A permanent exhibit explains the area's sugarcane and rum industries. The extensive garden, with sculptured bushes and a shimmering reflection pool, is considered the best kept on the island.
