Museo Parque de Bombas

The red and black striped Victorian Gothic wooden building contains two lateral towers and exhibits antique fire engines and firefighting equipment.

The structure, designed by Lieutenant Colonel Maximo de Meana y Guridi, began as an exhibition pavilion in 1882 before serving as a fire station until 1990.

The museum displays memorabilia from the heroic seven firefighters who protected the city during the notable El Polvorin fire incident.

Located directly behind Ponce Cathedral, the museum welcomes visitors every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.

The building features a central cast iron staircase leading to a mezzanine floor that housed administrative offices during its fire station period.
