Description: Located on Tetuán Street, the former house of Admiral Ramón Power y Giralt was restored in the 1990’s and currently functions as the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico. Born on October 27 of 1775, Ramón entered the Spanish navy at the age of 18. He quickly rose to the rank of admiral after successfully defending the colony of Santo Domingo from the French. Elected to represent Puerto Rico in the Spanish Courts of Cádiz, he later served as vice-president, fighting for the equal representation of his Island before Spain’s parliamentary government. |
