On 19 June 1659, Sanz was appointed bishop of Cartagena by Pope Alexander VII, at the age of 37. Located in the Viceroyalty of Peru in South America, the Diocese of Cartagena is located in what is now Colombia. He was confirmed as bishop on 10 November 1659.[1] His episcopal consecration took place on 24 March 1661, with Bishop of Cusco as principal consecrator.[1]
