San Juan Cathedral in Old San Juan

On 2nd February 2008, we were wandering around in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. We saw a wedding going on and the bride and groom walked out of a church. We looked up and we saw the famous Catedral de San Juan (San Juan Cathedral). This cathedral was built in the 1520's and damaged several times by hurricanes. Last major restorations were performed in 1917. San Juan Cathedral still holds religious services on a regular schedule.

When we took this picture, the bride and groom were still by the front door of the cathedral. It is really wonderful to see such an old building is still in use. Unfortunately, we did not have time to take a tour inside.
