The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the neighbourhood of Malvín, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1][2]
The parish was established on 4 February 1934 by Archbishop Juan Francisco Aragone.[1] The temple is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.[2]
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. The project was built instead in Spain: the parish church of San Juan de Ávila, Alcalá de Henares.[1][3]
