Nuestra Señora del Carmen, Catholic church in Aguada district, Montevideo, Uruguay
The Nuestra Señora del Carmen stands at the intersection of Avenida Lavalleja and Venezuela, featuring a neoclassical facade with four prominent statues.
The original chapel from 1750 was demolished, followed by a second chapel in 1821 that served as the Constitutional Assembly seat during Uruguay's early independence.
The basilica received its minor basilica status from Pope Leo XIII in 1899, establishing its position within Uruguay's Catholic community.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors at its location on Avenida del Libertador Brigadier General Juan Antonio Lavalleja.
The main altar incorporates materials from Genoa workshops, including marble, lapis lazuli, onyx, and bronze elements throughout its composition.
