Cathedral of San Juan Bautista
The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista brings centuries of religious architecture into a compact Old San Juan visit. Its long history and unusual medieval architectural character make the building a central religious landmark in the old city.
Why go
Step inside for the building’s scale and detail, then continue through the neighboring streets rather than rushing between exterior photo stops. The cathedral also shows how the old city was organized around worship as well as defense. Its interior is a useful counterpart to the open plazas nearby, and the surrounding streets make the building easy to place in a wider walk.
What to look for
Sixteenth-century cathedral.
