Why pilgrims come

What makes this Catholic place significant

The ornate Sagrario Metropolitano adjoins the cathedral yet remains a distinct parish church centered on sacramental life and Eucharistic worship.

Do not treat the Sagrario as merely an annex to the cathedral. It is a distinct parish church whose identity centers on the sacraments and the Eucharistic life of the historic center.
