Om
Snabba fakta: 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.
Höjdpunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- 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.

Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
