Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista, San Juan

The Cathedral is amazing - it's nicely renovated and well maintained. Murals add dimension and magnificence to the space and tall ceilings create impressive acoustics. A lot of little details and artwork create the feeling of freedom, space and light. I was truly impressed. We were visiting the wedding ceremony and it exceeded all expectations. The priest' singing really moved me and overall it was a totally new and pleasant experience for me since I'm not religious and did not attend many ceremonies like that.
