As San Juan nears the 500th anniversary of its founding, Arleen
Pabon-Charneco explores the urban and architectural developments
that have taken place over the last five centuries, transforming
the site from a small Caribbean enclave to a sprawling modern
capital. As the oldest European settlement in the United States and
second oldest in the Western Hemisphere, San Juan is an example of
the experimentation that took place in the American "borderland"
from 1519 to 1898, when Spanish sovereignty ended. The author also
investigates post-1898 examples to explore how architectural ideas
were exported from the mainland United States. Pabon-Charneco
covers the varied architectural periods and styles, aesthetic
theories and conservation practices of the region and explains how
the development of the architectural and urban artifacts reflect
the political, cultural, social and religious aspects that
metamorphosed a small military garrison into a urban center of
international significance.
