What better place to house the Museum of Ponce Architecture than the wedding-cake shaped building named Casa Wiechers-Villaronga? The Art Nouveau style was designed in 1911 by the famous local architect Alfredo B. Wiechers as his home. Six years later, it was purchased by the Villaronga Mercado family. The museum opened in 1996 to celebrate the city’s elaborate buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This mecca of architecture covers 66 blocks.
