Templo Nacional San Juan Bosco, Catholic church in La Cisterna, Chile

The temple features three naves with large stained glass windows in white and green, illuminating the interior space across its 60-meter length.

Construction of the Templo Nacional San Juan Bosco started in 1943 under architect Gustavo Mönckeberg Bravo and received national temple status in 1958.

The temple includes six side altars dedicated to religious figures, including Saint Alberto Hurtado and Saint Teresa of Los Andes from Chile.

The church accommodates 500 seated visitors and provides regular masses, sacramental preparation sessions for baptism, marriages, and first communions.

Artist Claudio di Girólamo created the main altar mural titled 'The Glory of Don Bosco' along with fourteen stations of the Via Crucis.
