The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Vincent Pallotti (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes y San Vicente Pallotti), popularly known as Iglesia de Lourdes, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]

Overview

Located on the intersection of the streets Paysandú and Florida, the temple was built between 1885 and 1890 by engineer Ignacio Pedralbes in a Neo-Baroque eclectic style, inspired in the churches of La Sorbonne and Saint Gervais in Paris.[2]

The parish was established on 7 September 1962.[1]

Held by the Pallottines, it is dedicated to their patron saint Vincent Pallotti and Our Lady of Lourdes.[3]
