Sagrario Metropolitano de Lima

Sagrario Metropolitano de Lima, Church in Cercado de Lima, Lima, Peru

The Iglesia Parroquial del Sagrario stands on the second block of Jirón Carabaya, between the Archbishop's Palace and Lima Cathedral. The Dominican architect Diego Maroto is credited with its layout: a single nave under a continuous barrel vault ending in a small dome on pendentives at the centre of a very short-armed transept. Its 18th-century main altarpiece holds an openable tabernacle and is crowned by sculptures of the Coronation of the Virgin and the four Evangelists.

Founded in 1665, the church occupies a space that was formerly the chapter house where the Limense Councils were held. Its layout is attributed to the Dominican architect Diego Maroto. After the 1940 earthquake, Emilio Harth-Terré rebuilt the facade to resemble its appearance before the late 19th-century remodelling, when it had been rebuilt as a copy of the cathedral's Epistle and Gospel portals.

The chapel serves as an active place of worship where religious ceremonies and celebrations draw local worshippers throughout the year. It remains deeply connected to the spiritual life of Lima's Catholic community.

The chapel is located directly beside the cathedral in downtown Lima and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should be aware that access may be restricted during religious services and major holidays.

The church holds the baptism, marriage and death records of much of Lima's former elite, including the mulatto painter José Gil de Castro. It also shares a baptistery with the cathedral next door.
