Templo de Santa Clara, Gothic Catholic church in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

The Templo de Santa Clara features a single nave design with pointed arch windows and a distinctive lateral tower with a spire.

The original monastery was established in 1648 in Villa de Oropeza, with the current structure built between 1912 and 1918 by engineer Julio Knaudt.

The church belongs to the Poor Sisters of Saint Clare order, where religious ceremonies and community gatherings maintain Catholic traditions in Cochabamba.

Visitors can access the church through a side entrance with a pointed arch doorway, while natural light flows through four large windows.

The high choir area contains a lattice wall that allows nuns to participate in worship services while remaining concealed from public view.
