Oldest Jewish synagogue in the Western hemisphere, dating back to 1654.
Reviewed By rayrest - London, United Kingdom
Located in the aptly named synagogue lane is the Nidhe Israel museum and synagogue that was founded in 1654, making it the oldest in the Western hemisphere. It has been restored and is open to the public and available through tours. Interesting place to come if you get bored of the beaches.

This elegant 17th-century cathedral rises majestically in the midst of Ponce.
Reviewed By JoeC7777 - Brookfield, United States
Lovely architecture displaying classic Spanish/Portuguese cathedral style. A beautiful, but clearly well used facility. Marvelous statuary and stained glass windows. Townspeople were just arrivng for a mass, but we were welcomed and were not made to feel like intruders. A holy place not to be missed if you’re visiting the area.

Reviewed By Pacomoll - Mayaguez, Caribbean
One of the oldest churches on the Caribbean, Very well preserved with quite a big amount of original religious images from the Spain era.
6. Beracha Veshalom Vegimulth Hasidim Synagogue
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 79 reviews
Sephardic Jews fleeing the Spanish Inquisition built the oldest active synagogue in the U.S. territories.
Reviewed By MrBlech - Deerfield, United States
Our cruise excursion took us to the most commercial areas, unfortunately; however, friends had recommended that we search out this synagogue, and we were glad we did. Docent Agi was highly informative about the origins of the congregation and its historic building - the oldest in continuous use under the American flag, and the second oldest in the Western Hemisphere. It's also one of only four synagogues in the world with a sand floor, connecting it directly with the Spanish Inquisition and the expulsion of Jews from Spain. Just a five-minute walk from downtown, it was well worth exploring, and a highlight of our cruise.
7. St. Peter's Church

Contains a wealth of different architectural styles from the 17th century onwards; best known for being the oldest Anglican Church outside the British Isles.
Reviewed By Renocat10 - Wake Forest, United States
If you make a donation, the docent will give you great information and a pamphlet about the church. Make sure to notice how the church is laid out. Very different
8. Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity (Bermuda Cathedral)

The mother Anglican church in Bermuda, known not only for its religious, historical, and social importance, but also for its beautiful architecture.

This place is temporarily closed. A Georgian-style church with a sweeping stairway and antique chandelier.
Reviewed By 152colleenc - Independence, United States
This building is worth a visit when in St. Thomas. The pulpit is very unusual. The church welcomes tourists and the architecture is interesting.
