Beautiful Church and history shared at the entrance.
We bought a souvenir and the lady suggested that the Priest can blessed our purchase.
The Priest did it without hesitation.
We felt so blessed that day. ☺️
There's restaurants near the Basilica.
Breathtaking. Solemn. Beautiful. Its one of North America's oldest church built in the 1600's. Catedral de San Juan is 500 years old. Its the highlight of our frequent visit at Old San Juan.
Catedral de San Juan Bautista is a must-see while in Old San Juan. The tranquill atmosphere and stunning architecture are captivating. It's a serene place to both admire the beautiful stained glass windows and feel the weight of its long history, particularly when visiting the tomb of Juan Ponce de León. The cathedral is an active place of worship but is very welcoming to visitors, making it a perfect, quick stop during a walk through the city.
Beautiful Mass and Special Cathedral and Basilica. Ponce De leon is buried here. Also, major relics for Blessed Carlos Manuel Rodriquez and Saint Pius (1st century Rome).
The oldest cathedral in the United States! Such a beautiful historic site. The stained glass and the statues are incredible to admire. The cathedral itself is peaceful, a nice change from the rest of busy Old San Juan. Also, it is free to enter although donations are encouraged.
