San Blas de Illescas Church, Colonial Catholic church in Coamo, Puerto Rico.
The San Blas de Illescas Church features a two-level bell-gable with open arches, bells, and ceremonial steps surrounded by cast iron balustrades.
Construction of the church began in 1661, with a major reconstruction completed in 1784, establishing it as one of Puerto Rico's earliest religious structures.
The church maintains its role as the central parish of Coamo, hosting regular Catholic services and celebrations in honor of San Blas, the patron saint.
Located on Mario Braschi Street within Coamo's Town Plaza, the church offers guided tours and remains open for visitors throughout the week.
The building incorporates Spanish Colonial and Latin American Baroque Revival elements, visible through its curved facade and architectural details.
