San Buenaventura del Monte Alto, Religious temple in Resistencia, Argentina

San Buenaventura del Monte Alto is a chapel in the Monte Alto neighbourhood of Resistencia, Chaco. The current building dates from its 1959 reconstruction, after the original 1865 chapel was dismantled in 1940. The site also has a small building intended as a museum, a watchtower (mangrullo) and a sculpture of cacique Leoncito.

Franciscan friars founded the temple in 1865 to connect with the Vilela community and expand their spiritual work in the region. Activities were later disrupted by the Triple Alliance War before resuming afterward.

The chapel is named after Saint Bonaventure, to whom it was dedicated at its inauguration on 12 March 1865. Since the mission was abandoned in 1872 it has served only for sporadic worship, attended by indigenous people and immigrants, and it opens to the public only during the regular masses held there.

Visitors can reach the temple via national and provincial roads connecting Resistencia to Corrientes. Access is limited to specific mass times, so checking the schedule beforehand helps plan your visit.

Historical artifacts from the original temple structure are preserved today at the Ichoalay Museum and the Chaco People Museum in Resistencia. These items allow visitors to learn more about the site's early history and cultural importance.
