About Porta Coeli

Porta Coeli, "Latin for "Heaven Gate", is the name given today to the former Church and Convent of Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli (Spanish: Iglesia y Convento de Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli), particularly to its remaining church building, which today is the sole surviving structure of the convent and host of the Religious Art Museum of Porta Coeli. Since the name comes from Latin, it is pronounced correctly as "Porta Cheh-lee", the chapel is located in the historic district of San Germán, Puerto Rico, this structure is one of the oldest surviving church structures in both Puerto Rico and the Western Hemisphere.
