San Juan Cathedral






San Juan Cathedral is one of the oldest structures in the city.  It was built in 1521, it had wooden walls and a thatch roof. In 1526 a hurricane caused damage to the building.  The construction of the church began again in 1540, but the lack of funds as well as a variety of disasters meant that progress on the church was slow.  Despite the passing of time and the many difficulties faced by the church, it has retained its medieval feel.
