Religious Heritage

San Salvador’s religious architecture spans from colonial-era foundations to modernist icons. The city houses the Metropolitan Cathedral, final resting place of Saint Oscar Romero, and the modernist Iglesia El Rosario, famous for its rainbow stained-glass interior. Significant historical sites include the Neo-Gothic Basílica Sagrado Corazón and the Capilla Divina Providencia, the site of Romero's 1980 martyrdom. These landmarks reflect the country's deep Catholic heritage alongside influential evangelical centers like the Tabernáculo Bíblico Bautista.
