Tijuana México Temple

Tijuana México Temple, Mormon temple in Tijuana, Mexico

The Tijuana Mexico Temple is a 33,367-square-foot building in Spanish Colonial Revival style, with white stucco-like precast concrete walls, three two-story entrance arches, and a central tower topped by an angel Moroni statue reaching about 151 feet. Its exterior uses 285 precast concrete panels and 80 GFRC panels, with cantera stone detailing and bougainvillea motifs.

Announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 2, 2010, the temple held its groundbreaking on August 18, 2012, presided over by Benjamín De Hoyos and attended by about 2,000 local members and community leaders. A public open house from November 13–28, 2015, drew roughly 71,000 visitors before Dieter F. Uchtdorf dedicated the building on December 13, 2015, in three sessions. It was the 13th temple in Mexico and the church's 149th operating temple worldwide.

Bougainvillea appears as a recurring motif in the temple's floors, paintings and railings, a reference to the regional flora. Murals inside the instruction rooms depict the Baja California desert and coastline, and life-size paintings of Jesus Christ line the hallways, each leading to a different room. The celestial room, with white walls trimmed in gold, is the temple's most sacred space.

Non-members cannot enter the temple itself; they can view the exterior, gardens and tiered fountain from outside. The site lies in southeastern Tijuana near Cerro Colorado, about 50 km from the San Diego temple. The building is closed to the public except during open houses, as in November 2015.

The spire's gold-leafed angel Moroni statue reaches about 151 feet with the tower, while the building itself stands 48 feet tall without it. The exterior uses 285 precast concrete panels and 80 GFRC panels made to imitate traditional stucco. Bougainvillea motifs appear in the floors, paintings and railings.
