2. Capilla del Cristo

OLD SAN JUAN.   If you are in San Juan on a Tuesday, plan to visit this lovely chapel with an exquisite silver and gold altar. Built in 1753, the chapel commemorates a young man who was killed in a horse race down this very street. Some versions of the story say he survived and the chapel was built in honor of this miracle. Other versions of the story say the rider died and the chapel blocks the street so a similar accident could never occur again.   (© 10Best)
