Buenos Aires Argentina Temple

The Buenos Aires Argentina Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Ciudad Evita, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Announced on April 2, 1980, by church president Spencer W. Kimball, it became the first temple in Argentina and the fourth in South America when it was dedicated by Thomas S. Monson in January 1986. The temple is on a 3.73-acre (1.51 ha) site near the Autopista Riccheri, with its grounds having landscaped gardens, a front fountain, six tall gray spires, and art glass that reflects Argentinian national colors. The temple underwent a major renovation from 2009 to 2012, expanding to 28,299 sq ft and adding art glass incorporating blue and white hues from Argentina’s flag before its rededication by Henry B. Eyring. The rededication was preceded by an open house attended by more than 100,000 visitors and a cultural celebration featuring over 2,000 youth. The temple has four instruction rooms, three sealing rooms, and a baptistry.
