Iglesia San Germán de Auxerre
The Iglesia San Germán de Auxerre (English: Church of Saint Germanus of Auxerre) is a historic Roman Catholic parish church located in San Germán, Puerto Rico, overlooking the main plaza of the town. Spanish settlers founded San Germán parish in 1510 and built the first permanent church in 1688. Puerto Ricans repaired and reconstructed the church between 1717 and 1739 after it had suffered earthquake damage. Between 1834 and 1897, new repairs were made to the building, and in 1920, the tower was rebuilt after the 1918 earthquake. With Trompe-l'œil painting that imitates wood coffers on the ceiling, the Church of San Germán's interior is one of the most lavishly decorated on the island. The vault and arches are painted in the Trompe l' oeil manner. The church conserves the 1869 marble altar
