Antiguo Casino de Puerto Rico (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Built in 1917, the old Casino of Puerto Rico was designed by Montilla & Ferrer using Beaux Arts style. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The structure is also a contributing property to the Distrito Histórico del Viejo San Juan or Old San Juan Historic District. The district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1972.
San Juan is the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico. Today the city surrounds Bahía de San Juan (San Juan Bay) and extends far into the interior of the Island of Puerto Rico, but historically was situated primarily on the fortified islet of San Juan. Located in the eastern Greater Antilles on the Atlantic Ocean, San Juan is one of the largest and most economically important cities in the Caribbean region. The historic city is the oldest European-established community in the United States, founded by Spanish colonists in 1521. It is home to roughly 340,000 residents and some of the foremost institutions of the island commonwealth.
