The National Sanctuary of Blessed Martín de Porres (Spanish: Santuario Nacional San Martín de Porres) is a Catholic church and sanctuary dedicated to Martin de Porres located in Cataño, Puerto Rico. It was built in 1951 for the Dominican Priests as a pilgrimage church and as part of the community services for the Bay View and Bahía residential developments of suburban San Juan. German born Henry Klumb, designed the building in a Modernist style with a regional approach linked to the organic architecture described by Frank Lloyd Wright. The architect also followed liturgical and sacramental functions as dictated by doctrinal documents of the Catholic Church.
