Discover more about San Salvador El Salvador Temple

The San Salvador El Salvador Temple, the 135th temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, stands as a serene spiritual haven in the affluent Antiguo Cuscatlán district of San Salvador. Completed in 2011, it was the first temple of its kind in El Salvador and the fourth in Central America. The temple's design, inspired by Spanish colonial architecture, incorporates graceful arches and conches, reflecting the region's cultural heritage. Set on 6.5 acres of verdant grounds, the temple provides a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The exterior is constructed with Branco Sienna granite from Brazil, lending a stately and elegant appearance. A single attached spire, topped with a statue of the angel Moroni, symbolizes hope and spiritual aspirations. The meticulously maintained gardens surrounding the temple invite contemplation and reflection. Inside, the 27,986-square-foot temple houses two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms, and a baptistry. The interior design incorporates the Flor de Izote, El Salvador's national flower, in its art-glass windows and mahogany woodwork. While the interior is generally reserved for members of the Church, all are welcome to explore the grounds and appreciate the temple's architecture. The temple stands as a testament to faith, community, and the rich spiritual heritage of El Salvador.
