Catedral de San Germán de Auxerre CHURCH
( 8-11:30am & 1-3pm Mon-Fri, 8-11am Sat, mass 7am & 7:30pm Mon-Sat, 7am,
8:30am, 10am & 7:30pm Sun) San Germán's cathedral is named for the town's patron
saint and is noticeably grander than the diminutive Porta Coeli. Facing Plaza Francisco
Mariano Quiñones, it dates back to 1739, but major restorations and expansions over the
years (especially in the 19th century) have created a mélange of architectural styles, includ-
ing colonial, neoclassical and baroque elements. This is an active parish; if you visit for a
Saturday or Sunday service, take note of the crystal chandelier that helps to light the main
nave and the trompe l'oeil fresco.
Viejo Alcaldía HISTORIC BUILDING
The old city hall, which acts as a dividing line between the city's two central squares, is a
classic example of a 19th-century colonial municipal building with its stately facade and
cool inner courtyard. The building currently serves as a police station and the headquarters
for San Germán's rather low-key tourist office ( Click here ).
