The Cathedral of The Most Holy Trinity (Spanish: Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad), popularly known as "Templo Inglés", is an Anglican church in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Overview

[edit]

The original temple dates back to the 1830s and was built directly on the seashore. It was made possible through the sole effort of Samuel Fisher Lafone.[1]

At the beginning of the 20th century it was re-built on its current location, due to the modern development of the Rambla of Montevideo.

It is the cathedral of the Uruguayan diocese of the Anglican Church of South America.[2]
