Puerto Rico's Sacred Sites

Puerto Rico’s religious landscape features architectural landmarks spanning five centuries. This collection highlights the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, containing the tomb of Juan Ponce de León, and the 16th-century Iglesia de San José, a rare example of Gothic-influenced architecture in the Americas. From the neoclassical facade of Ponce Cathedral to the pilgrimage destination of Caguas Cathedral, these sites illustrate the evolution of Spanish colonial design and the island's spiritual history preserved within its historic town plazas.
