Belley Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista spans a substantial complex with Spanish colonial architecture, white walls, and intricate religious decorations throughout the interior.

The construction of the current cathedral structure began in 1535, replacing a wooden church destroyed by a hurricane, and modifications continued until 1802.

The cathedral contains the tomb of Juan Ponce de León and holds regular Catholic ceremonies that connect present-day religious practices with centuries of tradition.

The cathedral opens daily for visitors from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours in English and Spanish that explain its architectural features.

This religious structure holds the distinction of being the first cathedral built in the Americas, established during the initial period of Spanish colonization.
