The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ayacucho o Huamanga (Latin: Ayacuquensis o Huamangensis) is an archdiocese in the south-central Andes of Peru that was erected in the early 17th century, promoted to a metropolitan archdiocese in 1966 and covers the city of Ayacucho.[1][2] Its archbishop—Archbishop Salvador Piñeiro García-Calderón has been leading the Archdiocese since 2011—is also the ecclesiastical provincial for the Diocese of Huancavelica and the Territorial Prelature of Caravelí.
