Description
Sitting high on a bluff with spectacular sea views, Casa Blanca, located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico was built in 1521. It served as the first fortification of the San Juan islet and residence for Juan Ponce de León and his family. Although de Leon died in an expedition to Florida without ever getting to occupy the structure, it was used as the residence of his descendants until the mid-18th century.
