Overview
The Santiago Chile Temple is the 24th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the 1st temple completed in Chile (1983).
Situated in Santiago's Providencia district, the site of the Santiago Chile Temple is known locally as "Temple Square." Sharing the block are a meetinghouse, area offices, distribution center, mission headquarters, and patron housing. Beautiful mature trees line the front of the temple while enchanting gardens fill the grounds behind the temple—accented by a focal point water fountain.
History
The Santiago Chile Temple was the second temple built in South America, following the Sao Paulo Brazil Temple (1978), and the first built in Chile. The Santiago Chile Temple was the first temple built in a Spanish-speaking country.
The site for the Santiago Chile Temple was purchased by the Church many years before the temple was constructed with the intention of building a Church school.
