Presbyterian Church in Old San Juan

On 2nd February 2008, we were wandering around Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. There were so many beautiful buildings in that area. When we saw them, we simple took some pictures. At the same time, we felt so bad that we did not do enough research about Old San Juan before our visit. It was almost like going to a chemistry class without knowing what chemistry was in advance. Anyway, when we saw this building, there was no doubt in our minds that it was a church. To be exact, it is the Presbyterian Church which has magnificent design with rich history.

From what we learn, the origins of the church began with a wedding. One of the members of the church married an Irish man, Mr. Hugh O'Neill. He in turn invested US$15,000, which was used to buy the building in 1907. Since then the church has been in service for over 100 years.
