The Iglesia San Germán de Auxerre (English: Church of Saint Germanus of Auxerre) is a historic
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.[3] The vault and arches are painted in the trompe-l'œil manner. The church conserves the 1869 marble altar as well as ten other 19th century smaller secondary marble altars. A collection of 17th century metalwork, 18th century wooden carvings and a painting by José Campeche are kept in the choir loft. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1984.
