Curitiba Brazil Temple, Latter-day Saints temple in Campo Comprido, Curitiba, Brazil

The Curitiba Brazil Temple stands in the Campo Comprido district on an 8.15-acre plot. Its exterior is white granite from Espírito Santo, reinforced with concrete, and the design is modern with a single spire. The building covers 2,590 square meters and contains two ordinance rooms and two sealing rooms.

A temple for the region was first mentioned in 1953, when Spencer W. Kimball predicted one would be built there. The First Presidency announced the Curitiba temple on August 23, 2002, and Russell M. Nelson presided at the groundbreaking on March 10, 2005. Thomas S. Monson dedicated the completed building on June 1, 2008.

The first LDS meeting in Curitiba was held on 22 April 1938, attended by only four people, all from one family, plus missionaries. In 1939 James E. Faust, later of the First Presidency, served there as a young missionary; German was widely used in Paraná, so much early preaching was done in that language. About 25,000 members now live in the metropolitan area.

The temple stands on an 8.15-acre plot in the Campo Comprido district of western Curitiba, with landscaping that includes a large water feature, gardens and numerous trees. Non-members may not enter the building itself, but can walk the gardens and grounds. The site is reached from the city's western districts.

The gold figure on the spire is the angel Moroni, a standard element of LDS temples. The temple's 27-metre central tower carries it above the Campo Comprido skyline. The spire follows the classic single-pinnacle design of the church's smaller temples.
