关于

快速信息: 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.

亮点: 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.

内部小贴士

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.
