Created in 2001, the Catholic Heritage
of San Juan historic walk was a journey
through time exploring the role of the
Catholic religion. We have improved this
walk with a new name: The Monks,
based on the chronicles written by
Pané and Bartolomé de Las Casas,
and narrated by a nun!
More than a simple walk through the old
city, you will also learn about the
architecture of the temples, history
behind the walls, and how the
Spaniards imposed their beliefs
within the Taínos and African slaves.
