Regina Angelorum Church and Convent
Regina Angelorum Church and Convent
Located on Padre Billini Street, this second convent of the Americas dates back to the 16th century. Once occupied by nuns, this imposing work of architecture is a popular site for wedding ceremonies, no doubt for its beautiful Gothic exterior, yet intimately sized chapel with domed ceilings, Gothic vaults, and air-conditioning. Renowned Dominican poet Salomé Ureña later turned it into an educational institute for women, before the building went back to being a convent.
