The 18th-century mansion known as Casa del Libro houses a vast
collection of rare sketches, illustrations, ancient manuscripts and
books, some dating from before the 16th century. The museum's most
prized possessions are two royal mandates signed by Ferdinand and
Isabella of Spain in 1493 regarding the provisioning of Christopher
Columbus's fleet for his second voyage to the New World. This was
the voyage during which Puerto Rico was discovered.
