Palacio de los Capitanes Generales
Palacio de los Capitanes Generales Review
A long restoration project (primarily reinforcement of the walls) is currently underway at the Palace of the Captains General, easily recognized by its stately archways, and once the hub of Spanish colonial power in the region. It now houses police and governmental agencies.
