As was customary in [[Spain]], in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a barrio called ''[[Pueblos in Puerto Rico|pueblo]]'' (''barrio-pueblo'' starting with the 1990 US Census) which contains a central plaza or main town square, the municipal buildings (such as the city hall), and a Catholic church. [[Fiestas patronales in Puerto Rico|Fiestas patronales]] (patron saint festivals) are held in the main town square every year.<ref name="Santullano" /><ref name="Pariser_5th">{{cite book |last1=Pariser |first1=Harry S. |title=Explore Puerto Rico, Fifth Edition |date=2003 |publisher=San Francisco: Manatee Press |pages=[https://archive.org/details/explorepuertoric0000pari/page/52 52]–55 |url=https://archive.org/details/explorepuertoric0000pari |url-access=registration |accessdate=10 February 2019}}</ref> The municipal and mayoral offices were located in the [[Caguas City Hall|City Hall building]] at the western edge of the main town square until 2010 when a new City Hall building located in the northwestern side of the downtown area was inaugurated.

Located across from the central plaza in Caguas barrio-pueblo is the {{lang|es|[[Catedral Dulce Nombre de Jesús (Caguas, Puerto Rico)|Catedral Dulce Nombre de Jesús]]}} which serves as the regional [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] cathedral. A hermitage was built in 1626 and by 1775 it had been renamed to its current name. In 1830 the construction of a church made of masonry began. The church was used until 1928 when it was damaged by [[1928 Okeechobee hurricane|San Felipe Segundo hurricane]]. Having sustained too much damage, it was demolished and reconstructed starting in 1936 based on an architectural design by Pedro Méndez and Joseph O'Kelly. The church was restored in 1999. In 1964 the church became a cathedral.<ref name="Mari Mut 2013">{{cite book | first=José A. | last=Mari Mut | title=Los Pueblos de Puerto Rico y Las Iglesias de Sus Plazas [The Pueblos of Puerto Rico, and the Churches of its Plazas] | date=2013-08-28 | url=http://edicionesdigitales.info/PueblosPR/pueblospr.pdf | language=es | pages=46–48 | access-date=2021-07-29 | archive-date=2020-12-14 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214203116/http://edicionesdigitales.info/PueblosPR/pueblospr.pdf | url-status=live}}</ref>{{US Census population
