CATEDRAL BASÍLICA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA REINA DE LA PAZ
SAN MIGUEL, EL SALVADOR
SAN MIGUEL, EL SALVADOR
La Catedral Basílica Santuario de Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz, o simplemente Catedral de San Miguel, es una iglesia católica en la ciudad de San Miguel en el oriente de la República de El Salvador, Centroamérica.
La original iglesia parroquial de San Miguel Arcángel fue demolida en 1862 para erigir un templo más grande. La primera piedra fue colocada por el célebre presidente migueleño Gerardo Barrios en el 21 de noviembre del mismo año. El primer encargado de su edificación fue el ingeniero inglés William Kirk, pero este abandonó el proyecto poco después de la muerte de Barrios en 1865.
Aún sin terminar, la iglesia obtuvo el grado de catedral en 1913, y en 1921 monseñor Juan Antonio Dueñas y Argumedo proclamó el patronato de Nuestra Señora de la Paz.
La catedral fue concluida en 1962 con el impulso del párroco, y luego arzobispo célebre, Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez.
El estilo de la catedral es ecléctico y es hecha de varios materiales locales así como extranjeros. El principal material es la piedra volcánica, llamada curruncha, del volcán de San Miguel. La estructura metálica del techo y cielo falso provinieron de Bélgica en 1926; estas piezas fueron ensambladas por el ingeniero filipino Alberto C. Geraldo quien también inició la erección de las torres de 57 metros del campanario. Las campanas provienen de Alemania, los vitrales fueron elaborados en México y el altar mayor es originario de Italia. Es la segunda catedral con mayor capacidad en el país después de la Catedral Metropolitana de San Salvador.
