Plaza de la Catedral, also known as Plazuela de las Monjas, is a small public square located in front of the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista and next to the former Carmelite convent in the Old San Juan historic district of the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The small but historic square is possibly the oldest in the city, dating to the foundation of the cathedral in 1521, and is found at the end of a wide historical residential block bound by the alleyways of Las Monjas and San Juan to the north and south, respectively, and by Calle del Cristo to the east. Caleta de San Juan connects this square to the San Juan Gate, formerly known as the Water Gate as it was the main harbor entrance into the walled city. This block formerly contained the first Episcopal church in the city between 1909 and 1929 when it was moved to a bigger location in Santurce, and later housed the San Juan Children's Museum, which closed in 2016.
