| San Jose Church was built as a monastery by Dominican friars in the 1530's. It is one of the first significant works of architecture and is the second oldest church in the Americas. The church is located at San Jose Plaza next to Plaza del Quinto Centenario and is one of the oldest structures in the city. |

The famous Puerto Rican artist Jose Campeche is buried at the church and for a while Juan Ponce de Leon was also buried at this church. In 2013, it was added to the National Trust for Historic Preservations list of America’s 11 most endangered Historic Places.
