Oldest Cathedral in the western hemisphere?[edit]

I'm pretty sure this is the oldest cathedral in the western hemisphere, but my spanish isn't that great. But I think the link cited states it was the first "suede" (see in spanish i think) which means it was the first cathedral right? Maybe someone should doublecheck the website (someone who knows spanish). 217.54.204.95 22:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

>> I doubt it is the oldest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere, given that that Western Hemisphere includes Spain, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and portions of England. The current St David's cathedral in Wales began construction in the 12th century. Durham Cathedal in England is older still, construction starting in the 11th century. San Juan Bautista may be one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas, but that is quite a different thing.Ambhibian79 (talk) 07:00, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change of the capital city's name to San Juan[edit]

The statement to the effect that the name of the capital was "changed to San Juan after the Spanish-American War" is blatantly wrong. The name swap had already occurred by the 17 century. I strongly suggest that this phrase be struck out from the article.
