Supreme Court Building
Supreme Court Building, Modern courthouse in San Juan, United States
The Supreme Court Building features a concrete structure extending over a reflecting pool within Luis Muñoz Rivera Park, creating a visual connection with its surroundings.
Constructed in 1956 during Puerto Rico's transition to commonwealth status, the building was inaugurated with U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren as principal speaker.
The building stands as the highest judicial institution in Puerto Rico, succeeding the original court established by Spanish authorities in 1832.
Located at coordinates 18.465° N and 66.088611° W, the building maintains orientation toward other government structures including the Capitol and La Fortaleza.
