Iglesia El Rosario
This is one of the most visually interesting churches in San Salvador, if not the whole country, and well worth the 5-minute walk off the main square. El Rosario's concrete, half-moon, bunker-like appearance is a bit bizarre and un-churchlike from the outside, but inside, visitors are greeted by lines of colored light streaming in from abstract stained glass running up the height of its two curved walls. Abstract metal works form the altar and run the length of a third wall. The Stations of the Cross are represented by spare concrete and metal art pieces and are showcased in a low-ceilinged area, which is lit by natural light filtered through small squares of colored glass.
