El Convento de Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli

For people who love history, this place in the city of San German, Puerto Rico, is one of my favorite places to visit. The location and the plaza in front of this museum transport you to another era. The atmosphere is very peaceful and pleasant, and the history surrounding this place is very interesting and informative.

Porta Coeli, Gates of Heaven. In 1609 the Dominican Order built the Convent Porta Coeli at the crest of the hill in the historic town of San Germán (Saint Germain). The famous church building, first established as a chapel overlooking a small town square. In 1996, Governor Pedro Rosselló declared it as a Religious Art Museum, as it is today. San Germán is a beautiful town that keeps Spaniards colonialism architecture. There are many House Museums related to the San Germán historic past. The people are kind and friendly. In the meantime you are there, don't forget to enjoy a delicious coffee at "Me Latte un Pocillo".
