    The Ruins of Caparra contain the remains of the first permanent settlement on Puerto Rico founded in 1509 by Juan Ponce de León and called "El Ciudad de Puerto Rico". Little is known about the physical structures of this first settlement, as most were built with perishable materials, but it was built around a public square for trade and included corrals, warehouses, stables, and small houses. The Ruins of Caparra have been part of the National Register of Historical Places since 1984.

    Ruins of Caparra

    Or next visit will be to the Ruins of Caparra, located in the municipality of Guaynabo.
    This place contains the remains of the first permanent settlement founded on the island
    by Juan Ponce de León in 1509, which he called "El Ciudad de Puerto Rico".
    So we know little about the physical form of this first settlement with few exceptions, most
    of the structures in the city of Caparra were built with perishable materials.

    The Village was built around the public square, which was a place for trade. Also, there
    were corrals, warehouses and stables. The houses consisted of huts or small houses. We
    know that since 1984, the Ruins of Caparra are part of the National Register of
    Historical Places.

    Well this is all I wanted to say. We hope that all of you have enjoy it and thanks for your
    attention.
