Saint John the Baptist Cathedral
San Juan's Cathedral was originally built in 1521 by Puerto
Rico's first Spanish bishop as a thatched wooden church, but was
destroyed in a hurricane in 1526. The current medieval structure,
built from stone brought in from inland quarries by horses, dates
from 1540, although extensive renovations and reconstructions were
carried out in 1917. The cathedral features Doric columns and
elliptical vaults, and contains the marble tomb of the island's
first governor.
