Built between 1503 and 1520, the Casas Reales was the administrative center of the West Indies, housing the Royal Court, Treasury, and Office of the Governor. The building is now a museum that contains, among other things, recreations of the Royal Court and the Salon of the Governor, where the Crown's emissaries sat in state and often ignored edicts direct from Spain.
