Museo Castillo Serrallés in Ponce, Puerto Rico, occupies the former hilltop home of the Serrallés family, owners of Destilería Serrallés, one of the island’s largest rum producers. Designed by Pedro Adolfo de Castro y Besosa in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and built in the late 1920s and 1930, the four-story residence became a museum in 1991 after the city purchased it from the family heirs. Its exhibits connect the history of sugar cane and rum to Puerto Rico’s economy, while furnished rooms, family photographs, landscaped grounds, and city views preserve the domestic world and business legacy of the Serrallés family.
