1. Panteon Nacional Roman Baldorioty de Castro
Roman Baldorioty de Castro National Pantheon, also known as Cementerio Antiguo de Ponce, is Ponce's oldest cemetery-turned-museum. With over a hundred years of history since its inauguration in 1842, it was converted into an official pantheon in 1991. This famous burial place is considered Puerto Rico's only National Pantheon, as well as the only cemetery made into a museum in the Caribbean. As the name leads on, the remains of the famous politician Baldorioty de Castro are located here, as well as those of other illustrious people.
2. Ponce Historic Archive
The Ponce Historic Archive is the biggest collection of documents, letters, photos, microfilms and more , in the entire island. It houses over 300,000 files, each containing thousands of more items. Although most of its contents are Ponce related, there are also some collections dedicated to other Puerto Rican municipalities. Historians, professors, researchers, and more can be granted access.
3. Casa Trina Padilla de Sanz
This antique structure was built over the ruins of what once was a property owned by Mr. Francisco Ulanga in Arecibo. The first owner of the property that was rebuilt was writer, poet and pianist, Trina Padilla de Sanz. The house has a beautiful neoclassic style that you can witness on one of the weekly tourings of the property. The building stands close to Casa Ulanga which is a museum you can visit after touring the house.
4. Casa de la Cultura y Museo
The museum displays objects of archaeological background.
5. The Componte Home
This landmark used to be the Sanabria Residence, also known as the Componte home. It was the home of the birth of the repressive movement founded by ex-governor Romualdo Palacios in 1887 with the revolutionary intention of defeating the Spanish regimen. Today, due to natural disasters, all there is left are the ruins and the memory of a revolutionary spark.
