Welcome to our Museum!
When the Spanish first colonized Puerto Rico, churches were located in large cities. As recently as the 1960's, many areas in the mountains did not have local churches.
Hand-carved santos, displayed in niches or alters of each home, represented saints found in churches, but eventually took on additional significance as symbols of folklore, history, tradition, and cultural identity.
Santos became part of almost every rural family.
The Household Saints of Puerto Rico.
