Iglesia de Santa Bárbara, Iron church in Santa Rosalía, Mexico.
The metallic structure features a steel frame construction with stamped sheet squares, stained glass windows, and religious imagery throughout the building.
Originally designed for the 1889 Paris Exhibition, the church was transported to Brussels before being purchased by the Boleo Mining Company for Santa Rosalía.
The church represents a fusion of European industrial architecture and Mexican religious traditions, serving as a central place of worship for the local community.
The building maintains regular religious services and remains open to visitors interested in examining its metal construction and architectural details.
This prefabricated metal church structure stands as one of the few remaining examples of 19th-century industrial religious architecture in Latin America.
