Cathedral of San Juan Bautista

After our sugar and caffeine fuelled breakfast we made our way over to the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista. It is one of the oldest buildings in San Juan, and is the second oldest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere.

The cathedral contains the tomb of the Spanish explorer and settlement founder Juan Ponce de Leon.

Behind me is El Convento, a 350 year old Spanish convent converted to a 5 star hotel with roof top bar - hola!

















It was then down to the main entrance of OSJ, where travels and supplies arrived. You will note the St John the Baptist mosaic over the entrance, for which travels paid their gratitude once they arrived safely.
