Basilica De Santisimo Sacramento, Colonia del Sacramento

4.1

#3 of 9 in Historic Sites in Colonia del Sacramento

One of the highlights of the World Heritage-listed city center, Basilica De Santisimo Sacramento dates back to the 17th century, when the site was occupied by a more humble building made of mud. The pair of main towers possesses colonial-era rusticity, with the whitewashed walls adding much to this effect. The history of the church is detailed in the main building, while the neatly restored interior creates an atmosphere of contemplation and spirituality, harking back to the town's colonial past.

This church is already a few hundred years old but is still well preserved. Although the interior is simple, there is a column which is original. Free entrance and worth a visit. more »

Despite the fact that Colonia is a beautiful city and a cultural patrimony, this church requires maintenance.
