Iglesia de El Sagrario, Renaissance Catholic church in Historic Center, Ecuador.
The Iglesia de El Sagrario stands next to the Metropolitan Cathedral on García Moreno Street, featuring a central nave with barrel vaults and lateral domes.
Construction of the church began in 1617 under the Confraternity of the Sagrado Sacramento and was completed in 1715 after multiple building phases.
The interior contains wooden carvings by Bernardo de Legarda, while Francisco Albán created biblical frescoes on the dome in 1742.
Visitors can explore the church while discovering other religious structures in Quito's Historic Center, including La Compañía de Jesús and Plaza Grande.
The church structure spans over an old ravine called Zanguña, incorporating architectural solutions to overcome the challenging terrain of colonial Quito.
