Ponce: See
Most of Ponce's sights are tightly packed around the main square of Plaza las Delicias.
Parque de Bombas, east side. The former fire station, painted with highly distinctive red and black stripes, and the symbol of the city. The building now houses the tourist office and a free exhibition of the history of fire fighters in Ponce, and is the departure point for the sightseeing train around the city.
Casa Alcaldía (City Hall), south side.
Catedral de la Guadalupe, west side. Directly behind Parque de Bombas.
