A Cathedral of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Juan.
Visitors can explore the cathedral from 8:30am to 4pm daily.
Phone 787-722-0861
The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista is the second oldest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere.
Construction began in 1521. The original church on these grounds had wooden walls and a thatched roof. It was destroyed by hurricane on October 4, 1526, rebuilt in in 1540, looted in 1598, and damaged by another hurricane in 1615. The Cathedral as seen today is the result of work done in 1917, when major restorations were performed. This Cathedral is an authentic and rare New World example of medieval architecture. The cathedral contains the marble tomb of the island’s first governor Juan Ponce de León and the relic of San Pio, a Roman martyr. San Juan Cathedral still holds religious services on a regular schedule.
Information from the cathedral and Welcome to Puerto Rico websites.
Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 8am- 12m and 2 pm- 6 pm

The brilliant colours of the buildings along the quaint cobblestone streets really give San Juan charming character.

The church is located in the city of Uyatara. The Church of San Juan Bautista is built on an ancient, rectangular base built using the polygonal masonry method.
The walls of the ancient foundation, both internal and external, contain trapezoidal niches of various sizes. Why and why niches? Why didn’t ancient builders build much more practical windows? Apparently there was, now we do not understand, the reason …Read more

This property is located 40 minutes east of the city of Uyatara. And the first thing that travelers see is two houses, where the outer walls form a barely preserved, polygonal trapezoidal gate of the Incas. And many continue their journey further. But in vain!
Going down the hill, down to the river, a completely different picture opens up – there you can find rock processing and polygonal masonry, and even several megalithic blocks, the purpose of which was lost with the course of history.
The church was erected on the same site as the old parish built in 1515 by the Bishop of the Canary Islands Don Fernando Vasquez de Arce . This temple was gradually destroyed, required repair and was too small for the increased number of parishioners. Therefore, in 1909 it was demolished.
Money for the construction of the church was collected by local residents, so this church is so important to them.
The construction of the Church of San Juan Bautista began on March 19, 1909; it was opened for worship in 1917. But the construction of the church continued for almost 60 years and was finally completed in 1977 year.
Dominating the cityscape, the temple is 60 meters high and is the tallest church in the Canary Islands.
Architecture
The Neo-Gothic church of San Juan Bautista looks majestic and even somewhat gloomy. This impression is due to black basalt, the volcanic stone from which it is built. When viewed from afar, one gets the impression that the walls of the church are charred. During the construction, a special masonry was used, which is known only to a few Catalan masters. nine0005
The plan of the church has the shape of a regular square, its four facades are framed by sharp 8-coal towers. The main façade is located on the north side and overlooks San Juan Square. The central facade has a large doorway, which is a pointed arches, following one after another.
The church has one nave, the central sculpture of the temple is a crucifix of the 16th century, located in the main altar. Exquisite stained-glass windows give a special beauty to the church. Also one of the shrines of the cathedral is the sculpture of the resting Christ, made on Manuel Ramos Gonzalez .
The stained glass windows were made by the French company Maumejean et Fréres and are a true work of art.
The Church of San Juan Bautista houses many works of art by Italian and Flemish masters.
