Baroque Portal of El Sagrario
This monumental baroque portal marks the threshold of El Sagrario, the auxiliary chapel of Quito’s Metropolitan Cathedral. Crafted in the 18th c., its swirling vegetal forms, gilded angels, and sculpted saints exemplify the Quito School’s fusion of Spanish baroque with local aesthetics. The overwhelming visual density evokes a mystical transition from the profane to the divine, guiding the faithful into sacred space.
