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.
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, nd on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.[1] It is not open to the public, but private affairs may be arranged.
The building is a "typical" Moorish palace that is 119feet wide by 158feet long, with an interior rectangular courtyard, 51feet by 85feet long.[2] The fountain design outside the entrance is a copy of one in the "Patio de los Leones" at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain.[2]
The interior courtyard was used to film two coronation scenes for the Disney Channel Original Movie "Princess Protection Program" (2008).[3]
