Tierra Santa, Religious theme park in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Tierra Santa is a theme park in Buenos Aires that features more than 30 biblical scenes with life-sized figures, buildings, and streets recreating ancient Jerusalem. The grounds spread across several hectares and allow visitors to walk through reconstructed streets and squares depicting religious stories.
The park was founded to bring biblical narratives to life in a single location. In 2008, it received a visit from the then-Archbishop of Buenos Aires, acknowledging the project's importance to the religious community.
The park displays elements from three major religions through a mosque, synagogue, and various Christian representations on its grounds. Visitors can explore these religious structures side by side and compare their different architectural styles.
The grounds north of Buenos Aires are easily reached by public transport, particularly by buses running directly to the location. Plan to spend several hours exploring all the scenes comfortably and pausing at the various installations and presentations.
A 40-foot (12 m) mechanical Jesus statue rises from a mountain replica every hour while music plays. This regularly recurring spectacle draws many visitors who want to witness this particular moment.
