Trujillo Peru Temple
Trujillo, Peru
The Trujillo Peru Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru. The intent to build the temple was announced by the church's First Presidency on December 13, 2008. It is the second in Peru, following the Lima Peru Temple, the 17th in South America, and serves more than 88,000 members in the northern regions of the country. The temple has a single central spire topped with a statue of the angel Moroni. It was constructed under the direction of Aspersud, managed by engineer Fernando Guzmán, and designed in a Spanish colonial style with Brazilian Branco Ceara granite exteriors. A groundbreaking ceremony to signify the beginning of construction was held on September 14, 2011, conducted by Rafael E. Pino, then president of the church's South America Northwest Area. Designed in a Spanish colonial style with granite exteriors and stained-glass windows, it has two ordinance rooms and two sealing rooms.
