About San Salvador Cathedral

San Salvador Cathedral is the foremost church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Salvador and the seat of the Archbishop of San Salvador. The Cathedral site is where the old Temple of Santo Domingo St. Dominic once stood. A considerably more prominent toll was claimed on Palm Sunday, March 31, 1980, amid the burial service of Archbishop oscar Romero, when 44 individuals were killed amid a rush after a few components, supposedly individuals from security powers discharged on grievers/admirers and on Romero's memorial service cortege, the genuine shooters were never distinguished. Afterward, the square before the Cathedral was the site of blissful festivals after the marking of the Chapultepec Peace Accords that finished the Salvadoran Civil War in 1992.

The church was twice gone by Pope John Paul II who said that the house of prayer was "personally aligned with the delights and any desires for the Salvadoran individuals." The happy and vivid exterior encompasses a place of worship to a picture of the Divine Savior of the World etched by Friar Francisco Silvestre García in 1777. The principle holy place includes a picture of the Divine Savior gave by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1546. The picture lays on a four-segment baldacchino encompassed by pictures of the prophets Moses and Elijah, who partake in the Transfiguration story.
