Ponce is Puerto Rico's second largest city, and is known as " La Ciudad de los Leones" (city of lions). It was founded in 1692 by Juan Ponce de León's great-grandson - Loíza Ponce de León.
The "Parque de Bombas" is a landmark and still in use. Originally it served as headquarters of the Ponce Fire Corps, but in 1990, the firehouse was reopened as a museum, and the municipal band plays a free concert every Sunday night.
The unique red and black century old wooden firehouse is the second most photographed landmarc in all of PR.
Ponce is also known because of its many beautiful neoclassical buildings and facades........
