El Sagrario Church

Next to the Quito Cathedral, El Sagrario Church stands as a testament to 17th-century craftsmanship, its construction spanning over 130 years. The church’s masterfully-carved stone façade and gilded gold leaf door open to a space that seamlessly blends Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Inside, visitors are greeted by the unexpected sight of Moorish details in the painted domes, alongside striking Renaissance frescoes and paintings. This Roman Catholic chapel, a cultural and artistic jewel box, offers a rich tapestry of historical and artistic elements for those who step inside.
