Discover more about San Salvador El Salvador Temple

The San Salvador El Salvador Temple stands as a testament to faith and architectural beauty in Antiguo Cuscatlán, an affluent district southwest of San Salvador. Dedicated on August 21, 2011, it serves members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and parts of Honduras and Belize. As the first temple in El Salvador and the fourth in Central America, it holds a special place in the hearts of many. The temple's design, featuring arches and conches, draws inspiration from the Spanish colonial architecture prevalent in the San Salvador region. The exterior is constructed with Branco Sienna granite from Brazil, while the interior showcases a motif of the flor de izote, El Salvador's national flower. The 6.5-acre grounds are adorned with palm trees and tropical bushes, creating a serene and calming environment. While the inner sanctum is reserved for members with a temple recommend, the meticulously maintained gardens are open to the public, providing a tranquil space for contemplation and reflection. Visitors can admire the temple's striking white facade and the golden spire topped with a statue of the angel Moroni, symbolizing hope and spiritual aspirations. The temple is near the Multiplaza Panamericana Mall. A meetinghouse and patron housing are adjacent to the temple.
