El Sagrario Church Tours and Tickets

Next door to the Quito Cathedral, behind a masterfully-carved stone façade, is this exquisite Roman Catholic chapel. Built over 130 years, the 17th-century El Sagrario is a cultural and artistic jewel box combining Baroque to Neoclassical styles. Behind the gilded gold leaf door, you’ll find surprising Moorish details in the painted domes and striking Renaissance frescoes and paintings.
