Iglesia de Porta Coeli

Built by the Dominican Order in 1609 at the crest of a hill in San Germán, the church building that stands today dates to 1692. Sold to the Government of Puerto Rico for a dollar in 1949 to ensure its preservation, it now houses the Religious Art Museum of Porta Coeli — the first of its kind on the island, established in 1960. The collection centers on religious paintings and wooden carvings, including Baroque-style altarpieces and a Black Virgin of Montserrat statuette.
