The Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Church is located to the northeast of the Central Park of Nueva Gerona, in Isla de la Juventud, Cuba. It was built in 1926 with a Mexican colonial style, after a strong hurricane knocked down the previous church.
The priest of this church, Guillermo Sardiñas, was the only cuban priest who joined Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra mountain range. He did so in 1957, leaving Nueva Gerona for that purpose, and he ended up being promoted to commander.
