While we are thinking about central squares or plazas, we want to show you the other church in the Plaza - the Presbyterian Church. This church stands on the southern corner of the square. Puerto Rico, for most of its history, has been a Catholic country but since the U.S. invasion of the island in 1898, the protestant churches have grown in number and importance.
Statistics about the Presbyterian presence are available in online here.
The church congregation is about 125 members and services are held every Sunday. The mural that you see in this photograph was recently redone. The mural tradition does live on here in Puerto Rico.
