Audio Guide of Saint Germain of Auxerre Parish Church

The church is open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on Sundays for Mass (generally 7:00 am, 9:00 am, and 6:00 pm). It is recommended to confirm special schedules on its official page: Diocese of Mayagüez.

No, admission is free. Voluntary donations are accepted for the maintenance of this historic monument, considered a National Treasure of Puerto Rico since 2008.

We recommend 30 to 45 minutes to appreciate its neoclassical architecture, stained glass, and historic details. If you attend Mass or explore the exterior area, allow about 1 hour.

It stands in the island's second-oldest Spanish settlement, founded in 1573, and is a symbol of colonial development. Its current facade dates from 1688, combining Baroque and Neoclassical elements unique in the Caribbean.

It is a good destination year-round, but January stands out during the patron saint festivities, and December for its impressive Christmas decorations. Weekday mornings are less crowded.

It has ramps at the main entrance and an adapted restroom. As it is a historic structure, some interior areas have steps. Contact (787) 892-1027 for specific assistance.

A 5-minute walk away you will find Porta Coeli Museum, the oldest church in the Caribbean, and the Ramón Power y Giralt House. Download the tourist map at: SanGermanPR.com
