Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Egipto, Colonial church in La Candelaria, Colombia.
The Church of Our Lady of Egypt displays neo-Gothic architecture with a bell tower, clock, and detailed religious artwork inside the main nave.
The first hermitage on this site dates back to 1556, while the initial temple construction began in 1657 under Father Guevara's supervision.
The church hosts traditional celebrations every January, featuring performances that commemorate the arrival of the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem.
Visitors can access the church Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with additional Sunday services from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
The church's clock originated from Bogotá's Primary Cathedral, transferred to this location in 1906 during architectural modifications.
