О достопримечательности
Краткие факты: 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.

Советы инсайдеров
- Wear comfortable shoes as guided tours involve walking on cobblestone floors.
- Best photo spots are near the courtyard where light casts intricate shadows of ironwork balconies.
- Avoid midday visits to escape heat and busy crowds, opt for morning or late afternoon instead.
- Listen closely on tours for stories about secret passageways and historic intrigues that aren’t in guidebooks.
