Casitas típicas (typical countryside houses) are a part of Caribbean folk art, reflecting the region’s vibrant architectural heritage and lively spirit. Artists in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Curaçao share a long tradition of crafting miniature casitas. Inspired by these collectable handmade creations, create your own casita scene to take home!
