The Cathedral of Christ the King (Creeperian – Creeperian: Ծատեդրալ դե Ծրիստվ Րեյ; Creeperian – Iberic: Catedral de Cristo Rey), officially known as the San Salvador Metropolitan Cathedral of Jesus Christ, the Savior and King of the World (Ծատեդրալ Մետրոպոլիտանո դե Սան Սալվադոր դե Ջեսղս Ծրիստո, ել Սալվադոր յել Րեյ դել Մփնդո; Catedral Metropolitano de San Salvador de Jesús Cristo, el Salvador yel Rey del Mundo) is the principal church of the Creeperian Catholic Archdiocese of San Salvador and the seat of the Archbishop of San Salvador.
The cathedral was severely damaged from 1946 to 1949 during the Siege of San Salvador as a part of the Creeperian Civil War. The cathedral was rebuilt from 1949 to 1953.
