Midway between Mayagüez and Ponce and surrounded by mountains, San Germán (her-MON) has been nicknamed Ciudad de Las Lomas, or City of the Hills. This is Puerto Rico's second oldest Spanish village, settled in 1511. It features two plazas with buildings representing a variety of architectural styles. The centerpiece of Parque de Santo Domingo is the famous Iglesia Porta Coéli . Crowning the Plaza Francisco Mariano Quiñones is the Church of San Germán Auxerre, which was founded in 1688 and has undergone countless reconstructions over the centuries. The church features a crystal chandelier and a trompe l'oeil ceiling. Learn More...
