Castillo Serrallés
Castillo Serrallés (English: Serralles Castle) is a mansion located in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, overlooking the downtown area (Ponce Pueblo). It was built during the 1930s for Juan Eugenio Serrallés, son of businessman Juan Serrallés, founder of Destilería Serrallés. The structure sits on a exceedingly manicured property.〔Luis Muñoz Polanco, Engineer, Government of the Municipality of Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Listing Reference Number 80004494. November 3, 1980.〕 Nowadays, the structure functions as a museum, Museo Castillo Serrallés, with information about the sugar cane and rum industries and its impact in the economy of Puerto Rico. It is also increasingly used as a venue for social activities, including destination weddings.〔(''Buscan eventos especiales para el Castillo.'' ) Sandra Torres Guzmán. La Perla del Sur.

==History==
The house was purchased by the city of Ponce from the Serrallés heirs. While the castle was valued at US$17–US$25 million,〔(''The House that Rum Built.'' Adventure Guide to Puerto Rico Fourth Edition. By Kurt Pitzer and Tara Stevens. Edison, NJ: Hunter Publishing Inc. 2001. ISBN 1-58843-116-9. Page 229. ) Retrieved December 3, 2009.〕 it was purchased for a mere US$400,000 and included much of the furniture in the sale.〔(''Cumple Dos Décadas de Historia y Pasión.'' ) Carmen Sila Rodriguez. La Perla del Sur. (Ponce, Puerto Rico) August 26, 2009. Page 24. Retrieved September 26, 2009.〕 The city's initial intent was to turn it into a museum of Puerto Rican music.〔 The Museum of Puerto Rican Music was eventually established elsewhere in the city.
The mansion was emptied in 1956, and while the structure kept in very good shape, the grounds were overgrown by weeds to the point that a total landscaping plan was needed to return the estate to its past glory. In 1980, the property was still owned by Rosa Serrallés Torruella and Felix J. Serrallés Sanchez.〔Luis Muñoz Polanco, Engineer, Government of the Municipality of Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico.
