Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes


The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the neighbourhood of Malvín, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The parish was established on 4 February 1934 by Archbishop Juan Francisco Aragone. The temple is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.
There was a project in the 1960s to build a bigger, modern church in this place. Eladio Dieste designed the reinforced ceramic building, but only the apse was built. Curiously, the project was built instead in Spain: the parish church of San Juan de Ávila, Alcalá de Henares.
