Sacristy

Sacristy (El Sagrario) adjoins the Metropolitan Cathedral. This church, built in the mid-18th century to house vestments and sacred relics, has an elaborate baroque facade. Both the Sacristy and the cathedral were damaged in the 1985 earthquake, and each has also tilted over decades as the buildings ever so slowly sink into the underlying lake bed, requiring ongoing repair work to mitigate the effects of uneven settling.
