Church, School, Convent and Parish House of San Agustín
United States historic place / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Church, School, Convent and Parish House of San Agustín is a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed historic religious complex located in the Puerta de Tierra historic district of San Juan Antiguo in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The complex consists of the Church of St. Augustine (Spanish: Iglesia de San Agustín), its adjacent Augustinian convent (also housing the Catholic school) and the parish house.[1] The church itself was one of the first structures to be built using only concrete in the island and for this reason it is also listed in the Inventory of Historic Churches of Puerto Rico in 1990 in addition to being listed in the NRHP since 1985. The church complex is a contributing property, and, along the Capitol of Puerto Rico, it forms part of the monumental sequence of buildings, memorials and parks along the Ponce de León Avenue that constitute the Puerta de Tierra Historic District.[2]
