Desagües y Residuarios

Cayey, Puerto Rico
· Plaza de Recreo Ramón Frade
History
An old drainage system in the plaza and its surroundings was built between the 19th and 20th centuries using brick and mortar joints in different shapes. Other drains can be seen in the northern part of the church, specifically on Calle Núñez Romeu, where one still functions. The drain identified on the north side has "V" angles and a flat brick floor without a roof, although some segments used stones as covering. Interior drains with a square shape may indicate different periods of construction. Remains from the 19th and 20th century have also been discovered, including a variety of bottles, pearl ceramics, food remains, metals, and other items, possibly associated with commercial activity in the northwest corner.
