Visit Parque de Bombas, a museum of firefighting and a landmark of the city. Built in 1882, the building served as the first fire station in Puerto Rico, whose firefighters battled some major blazes in the early years. After 108 years of service, it was turned into a museum; today, you can view many relics, items, and artifacts from the station's history. Admire the Moorish Revival style and vibrant red color of the distinctive building, designed for the 1882 Exhibition Trade Fair.

At the heart or Ponce , next to the beautiful plaza. You can find food kiosk and a suvenior shop right across the street from the Museum. The Gentleman who works there is awesome I took my two children for the 1st time. To show them where their Family came from. And as part of our adventure, i took them here. Its very nice and cool inside . It has artifact from the station was built.

Very cool scene around the square where this is. Very cool history of the historical support for their first responders in Ponce. Very nice pair of squares around the church to spend a quiet afternoon watching people and roaming to find local food treats.
