Capilla del Sagrario, Colonial church in Plaza de Bolívar, Bogotá, Colombia.
The stone building features a neogranadino baroque facade with a cross-shaped floor plan consisting of a single longitudinal nave intersected by a transept.
Construction began on October 28, 1660, when Lucas Fernández de Piedrahíta placed the first stone, and took forty years to complete at a cost of 75,000 pesos.
The chapel houses over fifty paintings by colonial artist Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos, depicting scenes from both Old and New Testament narratives.
Located on Carrera 7 between Calles 10 and 11, the chapel remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM for visitors and worshippers.
A crypt beneath the presbytery serves as the burial place for descendants of the chapel's founder and patrons who maintain the building across generations.
