City/Regions: Ponce. A unique attraction on the central Plaza de las Delicias is the unusual Ponce Fire station, a landmark wooden building painted in black and red stripes. The firehouse was built in 1882 and was tested to its limits just a year later when the city experienced a massive fire. Firemen from the Parque de Bombas station heroically battled the blaze. The station remained headquarters for the fighters until 1990, when it was turned into a museum open to the public.
