  • Sitios Arqueológicos De Ponce
    Sitios Arqueológicos de Ponce RESUMEN ARQUEOLÓGICO DEL MUNICIPIO DE PONCE La Perla del Sur o Ciudad Señorial, como popularmente se le conoce a Ponce, tiene un área de aproximadamente 115 kilómetros cuadrados. Colinda por el oeste con Peñuelas, por el este con Juana Díaz, al noroeste con Adjuntas y Utuado, y al norte con Jayuya. Pertenece al Llano Costanero del Sur y su norte a la Cordillera Central. Ponce cuenta con treinta y un barrios, de los cuales doce componen su zona urbana: Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, Playa, Portugués Urbano, San Antón, Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, Quinto y Sexto, estos últimos seis barrios son parte del casco histórico de Ponce. Por esta zona urbana corren los ríos Bucaná, Portugués, Canas, Pastillo y Matilde. En su zona rural, los barrios que la componen son: Anón, Bucaná, Canas, Capitanejo, Cerrillos, Coto Laurel, Guaraguao, Machuelo Arriba, Magueyes, Maragüez, Marueño, Monte Llanos, Portugués, Quebrada Limón, Real, Sabanetas, San Patricio, Tibes y Vallas. Ponce cuenta con un rico ajuar arquitectónico, que se debe en parte al asentamiento de extranjeros en la época en que se formaba la ciudad y la influencia que aportaron a la construcción de las estructuras del casco urbano. Su arquitectura junto con los yacimientos arqueológicos que se han descubierto en el municipio, son parte del Inventario de Recursos Culturales de Ponce. Esta arquitectura se puede apreciar en las casas que fueron parte de personajes importantes de la historia de Ponce como la Casa Paoli (PO-180), Casa Salazar (PO-182) y Casa Rosaly (PO-183), entre otras. Se puede ver también en las escuelas construidas a principios del siglo XX: Ponce High School (PO-128), Escuela McKinley (PO-131), José Celso Barbosa (PO-129) y la escuela Federico Degetau (PO-130), en sus iglesias, la Iglesia Metodista Unida (PO-126) y la Catedral Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (PO-127) construida en el siglo XIX.

  • (A) PUERTO RICO - Large Scale Characteristics
    (a) PUERTO RICO - Large scale characteristics Although corals grow around much of Puerto Rico, physical conditions result in only localized reef formation. On the north coast, reef development is almost non-existent along the western two-thirds possibly as a result of one or more of the following factors: high rainfall; high run-off rates causing erosion and silt-laden river waters; intense wave action which removes suitable substrate for coral growth; and long shore currents moving material westward along the coast. This coast is steep, with most of the island's land area draining through it. Reef growth increases towards the east. On the wide insular shelf of the south coast, small reefs are found in abundance where rainfall is low and river influx is small, greatest development and diversity occurring in the southwest where waves and currents are strong. There are also a number of submerged reefs fringing a large proportion of the shelf edge in the south and west with high coral cover and diversity; these appear to have been emergent reefs 8000-9000 years ago which failed to keep pace with rising sea levels (Goenaga in litt. 7.3.86). Reefs on the west coast are limited to small patch reefs or offshore bank reefs and may be dying due to increased sediment influx, water turbidity and lack of strong wave action (Almy and Carrión-Torres, 1963; Kaye, 1959). Goenaga and Cintrón (1979) provide an inventory of mainland Puerto Rican coral reefs and the following is a brief summary of their findings. On the basis of topographical, ecological and socioeconomic characteristics, Puerto Rico's coastal perimeter can be divided into eight coastal sectors -- north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and offshore islands.

Mari Mut edicionesdigitales.info 2007-2013 1 La casa Wiechers-Villaronga es uno de los muchos tesoros de Ponce. Alfredo Wiechers Pieretti nació allí en el 1881, hijo de un inmigrante alemán y una puertorriqueña de 2 ascendencia corsa. En el 1905 se graduó de la Escuela Especial de Arquitectura en París y hasta 1910 trabajó en Wiechers y Barcelona bajo la tutela del arquitecto Enric Sagnier. En ese su casa año regresó a Ponce, adquirió un solar en la esquina de las calles Isabel y Mendez Vigo, y diseñó su casa (terminada en 1912). Durante los próximos seis años diseñó importantes obras y adquirió gran renombre como arquitecto. La Primera Guerra Mundial, sin embargo, le afectó. Se sentía perseguido por el gobierno debido a su ascendencia alemana, y quizás tuvo razón, porque durante la Primera Guerra Mundial se sospechaba de todos los extranjeros. Dicen que pasaba largos ratos en la pérgola sobre el techo de la casa velando a quienes lo espiaban.
