Antigua Casa de la Real Aduana (Puerto de la Cruz)

Spain / Santa Cruz de Tenerife / Puerto de la Cruz

The Former Royal Customs House. This is the oldest civil structure preserved in Puerto de la Cruz and an essential element in any photo of the fishing harbour. Built in traditional Canary style, it was founded in 1620 by the Franchy family. Later on it was leased to the Royal Treasury to house the Customs offices and as a residence for the Chief Customs Officer, until in 1833 this department was transferred to Santa Cruz. www.citpuerto.com/en/puerto-de-la-cruz/places-of-intere...
