One of the most amazing churches we have visited. Stain glass windows changed the ambiance as the sun passed over. Stations of the cross - beautiful & powerful artwork More

Iglésia El Rosario is a modern edifice on Parque Libertad, one block from La Catedral Metropolitana, in the heart of San Salvador. Although the distinctively curving exterior is a bit tired, the interior ceiling is colorfully patterned stained glass and the church contains several older statues of note. More

wonderful - a must see in San Salvador - a hidden gem which from outside you would not consider. Bringing a bit of modernism into the Catholic church! Visit it! More

I hadn't read the reviews before visiting and didn't realize how beautiful the inside of this church was! We couldn't get in on the day we visited so we only saw the outside. Although it's grimy and a bit run down on the outside, it's very unique and is beautiful to see. More

I live in San Salvador and I have to say this is my favorite church in the city, from outside it's a grim-looking building, but when you get inside, specially during the afternoon, the sun passing through the stained glass and the high ceiling creates this amazing atmosphere. You can also check the most original representation of the way of... More

From the outside, the church looks a little run-down. So when I walked in, I was surprised at how beautiful it was inside. The church has wonderful stained glass windows that look like a rainbow. Definitely a place to visit in San Salvador! More

Even if you are not religious, you will be touched by the unique beauty of this building. On my first visit, the Rosary Church was closed and I thought, 'No big deal'. On another day, it was open and I saw what I might have missed. I am no fan of the poured concrete of Brutalism but this church is... More
