In Metropolitan cathedral, you find the crypt dedicated to Saint Romero where his human remains are resting. Continue to La Divina Providencia Chapel, place where you can appreciate some of his personal belongers conserved on his original room and in contrast  here is the same place where he was murdered,  during a mass on  1980.

Finally, in Santa Tecla  two important spots;  El Carmen Church, where Monseñor was just  a few hours before of his death; and later the Chacón sister house, this is the home of two old ladies  who had a strong friendship with the salvadorean saint and preserve several remembers coverted currently in a memorial on his honor.
