Got go there to see the view, but can't they find a way to make this place beautiful. It is dated and Pelly maintained.
in Ponce but it has road up to the top , in the top you will find la cruz del vigia and la mansion serralles you have the best view of the city of Ponce , Pto Rico
Nice views and provides a good shot to photograph the Castle. The attached Japanese garden can easily be skipped.
Just a few steps from El Castillo Serralles you will find La Cruz del Vigia. The opportunity of the spectacular view of the city of Ponce and the Caribbean Sea is without comparison. Don't miss it!
One trip two attraction. One view. And elevator take you to the top where you are free to safety walk around and takes pictures. This will be you first top view of Castillo Serralles. Japanese Garden are also been build in la Cruceta del Vigia.
We visited the Cruz del Vigia 'cross tower' on 02/16/2015. We managed to drive all the way up past a very impoverished northern Ponce neighborhood in order to get to the mountain side. As we proceeded forward, the houses started to get more luxurious but with a mixture of villas and vacant properties. As we parked at the top of the mountain, we saw the Vigia, which is supposed to be a observatory deck. The views are very nice looking out at the southern region of Ponce. We took some nice pictures of the site, but since we went on a national holiday, the attraction was closed so all we could do is take pictures from outside. There really was not much to do after that, but it was nice while we were there. Interestingly enough, the Castillo Castle was literally right across the street.
The only think to do here is to see the view of the amazing view of all Ponce. There is nothing else and the area is not so big.
This cross did not exist when I lived there 30 years ago. The view is amazing, bring a good camera for great pictures
Being claustrophobic I didn't like the idea of it but I tried it anyways. The stairs are for emergencies only (also is 10 floors to get to the top). The view is amazing but being that high I felt little dizzy. It's really amazing to see all the way to the ocean.
When you go in they have a display of and old store ad house that is really charming, the building is not pretty but is interesting. I have to admit that because I'm afraid of heights I was on the observation floor for less than 3 minutes but theres not much up there except for the view that it is espectacular!
