The Palacio in Old San Juan is the oldest continuously occupied executive mansion in the New World. Construction started in 1533. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is currently occupied by the Governor of Puerto Rico and his family. (Please click to enlarge).

The Palacio is built on a prime ocean view spot in Old San Juan and is surrounded by La Forteleza or the old fort walls.

The stunning interiors are like stepping into old Spain.

The gardens are tropical with fruit, vegetables and flowers in abundance. Fountains and tile mosaics abound.

The views are simply spectacular.

Adjoining the residence, is El Hospital, la Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, built in 1556 and currently run by catholic nursing nuns for elderly patients.

I wouldn’t want to be a poltician, but I would love to stay in this house! Saludos a usted!
