The architect of the cathedral is beautiful in itself. If you have a moment, step inside and you'll see beautiful paintings. It was also nice to sit down for a bit and reflect on life. I would only kindly request, for tourists to be mindful when stepping in to take photos, as sometimes they are in the middle of service, people are praying or perhaps a wedding is taking place. It's a place worth visiting!

The cathedral is quite simple from an architectural standpoint and can be visited rather quickly. It lacks the grandeur or detail found in other major cathedrals in Latin America. One frustrating aspect is the complete lack of information regarding visiting hours—there’s no signage, and nothing available online or at the entrance to help plan your visit. There are numerous references to Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero throughout the space, which may be of particular interest to those who wish to understand his legacy and role in Salvadoran history.

There are different times to go into the cathedral. It sits adjacent to the Palace and across the square from the public library in San Salvador. This cathedral was magnificent. You could feel the presence of God. The architecture is a work of art.

A must see in the centro historico. Looks cool at night with lights.

Was here for the corn festival. Got here at 730 but not all of the stands were ready. Overall mass, presentation and food was awesome. Be ready to stand in line for awhile.

It is so beautiful! Definitely take the time to stop by and soak in the beauty of the building. It is located in the downtown area. Just be aware of your surroundings, which is common sense for any new place you visit. There is so much culture to experience. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful church to see in the plaza. I did visit the crypt as well but won’t take photos of it. The paintings in the church are amazing.
