About San Salvador

San Salvador is El Salvador's capital, set in a valley beneath a volcano, with a historic centre of plazas and cathedrals, museums and mountain viewpoints.

San Salvador sits in a bowl-shaped valley under the San Salvador volcano, whose crater, El Boquerón, rises above the city to the west. The historic centre around Plaza Gerardo Barrios has the neoclassical National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral, where Archbishop Óscar Romero is buried, and the Teatro Nacional stands nearby. The Divine Saviour of the World monument, a statue of Christ on a globe, stands on a busy roundabout.
