The parish church San Fernando of Carolina sits directly in front of the town square, with its entrance facing west. The church occupies the central space of a town block with structures on both sides restricting its space and reducing its view. It is separated from the street by an iron grillwork fence, enclosing a tiled area which surrounds the church on three of its sides. This church, as well as the one in Vega Baja, was designed by engineer Antonio Maria de Vizcarrondo y Guitian. Both churches are similar in their facades and in the arrangement of interior spaces, the one in Carolina being the smaller of the two. [4]
