“Pretty church”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 11, 2012

Lovely old church, rebuilt after some disasters. Worth stopping in, as it's right on the square (across from Burger King!). More

“Great from the outside, could not get inside!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 23, 2012

As the foundation of the Plaza de Las Delicias in Ponce, the Cathedral is a beautiful building from the 1830's. Unfortunately when I was there, it was closed. I can only imagine what the interior would look like! More

“Elegant, modest town plaza church”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2011

person found this review helpful

This cathedral is a popular working house of worship - townspeople pour in for services (in Spanish of course) and greet friends and neighbors. Worth a visit for any tourist visiting the Plaza. Right next to the much pictured colorful old fire station (Parque de Bombas) More
