5. Iglesia de Porta Coeli

SAN GERMAN.   This Gothic-style church is the main attraction in San German. Built in 1606, this is the oldest standing church in the New World. It was originally built as a place of worship for local Dominican monks, and now has been converted to a museum featuring hand carved Santos and other religious artifacts. "Porta Coeli" means "Heaven's Gate" – stand in front of the church and look down over San German and you will know where the name comes from.   (© 10Best)
