... Beautiful view of the Town Hall of Yauco or "the city of coffee" as it is more informally known... it boasts a myriad of historic buildings and homes, murals, and mountain scenery... this building is an important landmark and an excellent example of local governmental architecture and cultural heritage of the region... it serves as the administrative headquarters for the municipality, housing the offices of the mayor and other local government officials... but it is much more than just a city hall... it's a central pillar in the civic and cultural life of Yauco... the front square is a gathering point for residents for generations and visitors... Thanks a lot dear Glenn! (✿◠‿◠)
Yauco is a city and municipality in southwestern Puerto Rico, centered on the city of the same name. While the urban center is inland, the municipality extends to the southern Caribbean coast.
Founded by Fernando Pacheco in 1756, Yauco was a center for Corsican immigration to Puerto Rico in the 19th century due to its geographical similarity to their homeland. Corsicans have contributed to many areas of life in Yauco, particularly its coffee-producing agriculture. This has contributed to its nicknames of El Pueblo del Café (City of Coffee), and Los Corsos (The Corsicans). It is also known as La Capital Taína (Taíno Capital) after the native peoples of Puerto Rico."
