What to expect

  1. Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista
    25m
    The graceful Catedral de San Juan Bautista, or Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, is a can't-miss historic landmark in the heart of the old city.
    Highlights
    When visiting the cathedral, we won't want to miss the following highlights:

    -The tomb of Ponce de León
    -The mummy of St. Pio
    -The stained glass windows
  2. The Capitol of Puerto Rico
    25m
    El Capitolio de Puerto Rico was to become the House of Representatives and the location for senators’ offices. The building faces the Atlantic Ocean and has a somewhat intimidating design. The entire structure is a wonderful example of Neoclassical Revival Style architecture.
