Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Originally serving as a fortress to protect against sea attacks, this building now functions as the governor's residence. It survived multiple centuries and numerous hurricanes, showcasing resilient Spanish colonial architecture.
Destaques: Unique iron balconies were imported from Spain, adding to its distinctive look. A legend claims a ghost, believed to be a former governor, still roams the halls at night, adding mystery to its historic charm.
