Casa Paoli, Neoclassical museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico
Casa Paoli exhibits neoclassical architecture with intricate woodwork, decorative elements, and a brick and stucco facade designed by architect Manuel V. Domenech in 1914.
The structure, built before 1864, was the birthplace of Antonio Paoli, who became an internationally acclaimed tenor and earned the title 'King of Tenors'.
The building functions as a research center under the Centro de Investigaciones Folklóricas de Puerto Rico, displaying photographs and artifacts from Puerto Rican history.
The museum contains multiple exhibition rooms where visitors can examine personal correspondence, photographs, and objects related to Antonio Paoli's international opera career.
The residence was originally a wedding gift that housed eight children and provided young Antonio direct access to Teatro La Perla, where he first experienced opera.
