Altar mayor de la Iglesia de la Santa Cruz de Roma, de Panchimalco.<br />

Panchimalco fue, durante la Colonia, un pueblo de Indigenas, y su iglesia, erigida en el siglo<br />

XVIII, representa el barroco religioso más difundido en las iglesias salvadoreñas. Su estilo<br />

es menos suntuoso que el guatemalteco o mexicano.<br />

El altar mayor fue tallado en madera y revestido con hoja pan de oro. La riqueza de la<br />

escultura religiosa del barroco se vio influida también por las figuras propias de la región,<br />

como las frutas o los rostros aindiados de sus ángeles. En el altar mayor de Panchimalco,<br />

en otros de sus altares y el artesonado de la iglesia, pueden distinguirse frutas como el<br />

cacao, de poderosa presencia en la económica colonial.<br />

La iglesia de Panchimalco es patrimonio cultural salvadoreño desde 1975.<br />

century, represents the religious baroque most widespread in the Salvadorian churches.<br />

as fruits or the Indian looking faces of its angels. In the high altar of Panchimalco, other<br />

theirs altars, and the coffered ceiling of the church, fruit can be distinguished as cocoa<br />

fruits of powerful economic presence in the colonial.<br />
