Templo de San Agustín

Templo de San Agustín, Catholic temple in central Durango, Mexico.

The Templo de San Agustín is a Catholic temple with a two-story baroque main facade featuring simple column decorations that face the street. Its interior adopts neogothic design principles and includes religious statues along with ornamental altar work.

The temple was founded in 1631 by Fray Gonzalo de Hermosillo, the first bishop of Durango, originally as a small prayer cell. In the 19th century it was remodeled: a side facade was added and a new main altar was made by the stonemason and sculptor Benigno Montoya Muñoz, who also worked in towns near Durango.

The temple's name comes from Saint Augustine, and the site began as a small prayer cell before becoming a parish church. The 19th-century high altar carved by Benigno Montoya Muñoz, in a neogothic filigree style, is the focal point of worship today.

The temple is located at the intersection of 20 de Noviembre Avenue and Hidalgo Street in the city center, making it easy to reach. Opening hours may vary depending on religious services and local celebrations throughout the year.

The carved stone rosette above the entrance to the archbishopric building is the detail most visitors walk past. The same building's chapel altar, sculpted by Benigno Montoya, is worked in a neogothic style that resembles fine filigree rather than stone.
