Hacienda Santa Rita, Sugar plantation and convent in Susúa Baja, Guánica, Puerto Rico.
The complex contains multiple structures including a main house, former slave quarters, and religious buildings spread across the estate grounds in Guánica.
The property, constructed in 1800 by Don Mariano Quiñonez, served as military quarters during the 1898 Spanish-American War before becoming a Dominican convent in 1953.
The Dominican Order of Our Lady of Fatima transformed this former sugar plantation into a religious center, merging agricultural heritage with spiritual practices.
Visitors can access the National Register of Historic Places site to learn about Puerto Rico's sugar industry and religious development through guided tours.
The property combines three distinct functions: a sugar plantation, a military post during wartime, and a Dominican convent, each leaving architectural marks.
