Casa Cautiño, Historical house museum in Guayama, Puerto Rico.
The one-story U-shaped house features neoclassical elements including cornices, pilasters, Roman arches, and classical ornamentation designed by architect Manual Texidor in 1887.
During the Spanish-American War, this residence owned by Colonel Genaro Cautiño Vázquez of the Spanish Army Volunteer Battalion served as headquarters for American forces.
The Institute of Puerto Rican Culture maintains a collection of regional art, wood carvings, sculptures, and furniture created by local craftsmen for the Cautiño family.
Located at 1 Calle Santiago Palmer, the museum displays preserved interiors that demonstrate the living conditions of wealthy 19th-century Puerto Rican landowners.
An underground tunnel connects the main building to both an annex house and the Iglesia San Antonio, creating a network of historical structures.
