Casa de España

Casa de España is the headquarters of a private social organization whose members are those of Spanish descent in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Avenida de La Constitución in Old San Juan.

History
The building was designed in a Moorish Revival style by architect Pedro Adolfo de Castro. The building dates from 1934. Although it is named "Casa", it has never been a dwelling place for a family; rather it is a "house" whose members claim common ancestry. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is not open to the public, but private affairs may be arranged.

Architectural details
The building is a "typical" Moorish palace that is 119 ft wide by 158 ft long, with an interior rectangular courtyard, 51 ft by 85 ft long. The fountain design outside the entrance is a copy of one in the "Patio de los Leones" at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain.

Media
The interior courtyard was used to film two coronation scenes for the Disney Channel Original Movie "Princess Protection Program" (2008).
