Church built between 1885 and 1890, designed by the engineer Ignacio Pedralbes. Structure your plant in a Latin cross with nave and transept, covered by a barrel vault. At the intersection stands a dome decorated with tiles. The style of the facade is part of the historical eclecticism inspired by the French Baroque, assuming as reference direct the churches of the Sorbonne in Paris and St. Gervais. It is organized symmetrically, placing the main access shaft, framed by Doric half-columns. The structure is repeated upstairs with half Ionic, terminating in a pediment and a bell tower in order to be appealed to the Corinthian. It is a National Historic Landmark since 2005. His condition is good.

Beautiful structure and interesting scene down-loaded. Church volunteers should pressure wash the mildew from the front facades. Shame on them. :)

I like this one. The sky is great. Is it customary to use pink on buildings in Uruguay?

Beautiful image. I love the way the blues and pinks in the building are reflected in the sky.
