Museo de la Arquitectura Ponceña, Architecture museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Museo de la Arquitectura Ponceña displays architectural evolution through exhibits of historical documents, photographs, plans, and scale models of regional buildings.
The museum occupies the Wiechers-Villaronga House, constructed in 1912 by architect Alfredo B. Wiechers as his personal residence and professional studio.
The building combines neoclassical and baroque elements with features such as rounded corners, floral garlands, and balconies framed by Ionic columns.
Located one block west of Plaza Las Delicias, the museum organizes regular workshops, lectures, and educational programs for architecture students and professionals.
The structure maintains its original Catalan modernist furniture, embossed tin ceilings, decorative friezes, and bathroom fixtures imported from Barcelona.
