Proyecto de casa de recreo de los gobernadores y capitanes generales de Puerto Rico: tipo y referentes en el Caribe hispano

A previously overlooked summer residence for Puerto Rico's governors and captains general, constructed in Río Piedras during the 18th and 19th centuries, shares architectural similarities with other recreational homes in the Greater Antilles. This finding emerges from an analysis of extensive graphic and documentary sources, revealing projects, expansions, and renovations carried out by military engineers who also worked on Santa Catalina Fortress—a key site for Puerto Rico's Capitanía General. The study highlights the residence's significance in Caribbean Hispanic architectural history, contrasting it with more documented structures.
