The Changos Town.

Naranjito shares the Lago La Plata, a beautiful lake, with the towns of Bayamón and Toa Alta. The town plaza features the Iglesia San Miguel Arcángel. In front of this church is a beautiful sculpture of the Archangel Gabriel (the patron saint of Naranjito), by Roberto Cintrón. This renowned local artist also created the Monumento al Jíbaro (a monument to the native Puerto Rican) at the entrance to town.
