Church of San Mateo de Cangrejos of Santurce
Church of San Mateo de Cangrejos of Santurce, Catholic church in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Church of San Mateo de Cangrejos features two square towers and a brick dome that crowns the sanctuary at the highest elevation in Santurce.
The church was constructed in 1832 as a chapel, and in 1896 architect Pedro Cobreros reconstructed its facade and expanded the interior dimensions.
The interior displays painted panels in the pendentives of the domes and sanctuary walls, representing religious artistry from different historical periods.
The building stands at the intersection of San Jorge Street and Eduardo Conde Avenue, with curved steps leading to the main entrance facing south.
The church floor features marble tiles arranged diagonally from the main axis, maintaining its original character despite modern additions like air conditioning.
