Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento

Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento is a neo-Gothic Catholic church in Guadalajara, Mexico, dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament and regarded as one of the country’s foremost works of religious architecture. Conceived in the late 19th century, it began construction in 1897 and took 75 years to complete, with progress interrupted by the Mexican Revolution and carried forward by several clerical, engineering, and architectural leaders. Its significance rests not only on that unusually long building history but also on its elaborate craftsmanship, including a facade inspired by Orvieto Cathedral, Vatican-made mosaics, carved wooden and bronze doors, stained glass from Orléans, and a German clock and carillon.
