Tour overview
Let’s trace the footsteps of one of El Salvador’s greatest historical figures, Saint Óscar Romero (1917-1980). As the Archbishop of San Salvador, Romero fearlessly spoke out against human rights violations, injustice, and poverty during a time of state repression. Today, his powerful legacy resonates both locally and globally.
Discover the landmarks and sites in San Salvador that are deeply intertwined with Romero’s life, ministry, and lasting impact. Explore the Chapel of Divina Providencia Hospital, where Romero was martyred, and visit his private chambers where he spent his final years. In the heart of the city, we’ll explore the Metropolitan Cathedral, where Romero delivered many influential speeches and found his final resting place. Pay respects at the moving Memorial Monumento a la Memoria y la Verdad, a tribute to the thousands of victims of El Salvador’s Civil War.
No pilgrimage to Romero’s legacy is complete without a visit to the Centro Monseñor Romero in the UCA, featuring a small hall dedicated to the courageous martyrs who sacrificed their lives in El Salvador, including the tragic assassination of six Jesuit priests by government forces here in 1989.
