Templo de San Carlos Borromeo de Aldama, Chihuahua

Templo de San Carlos Borromeo de Aldama, Chihuahua, Baroque temple in Aldama, Mexico.

The Templo de San Carlos Borromeo de Aldama has a flat facade with a single semicircular arch door framed by carved quarry-stone jambs. Above, a cornice supports two choir windows with a carved cross between them and triangular ornaments at its ends, topped by a pyramidal stone molding. Its square single-body tower has two openings per side and a hexagonal dome of flat segments crowned by an iron cross.

The temple's construction was ordered in 1783 by Commander General Felipe de Neve following attacks that had damaged the area. This rebuild was part of efforts to strengthen the region's settlements.

The temple is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, a name chosen in 1783 both for the presidio of San Carlos de Chorreras and in honour of King Charles III of Spain. The parish seat is now the nearby Templo de San Jerónimo, so worship here is occasional.

The building stands at the intersection of 7th and Gutierrez streets and is easy to locate. Visitors should be aware that ongoing maintenance work may occasionally affect access to certain areas.

The 1767 absorption of Santa Ana de Chinarras was a Jesuit mission joining San Jerónimo, not the temple absorbing anything; the Jesuits were expelled from Spanish domains that same year. The present building dates from the 1783 reconstruction ordered by Captain Juan Gutiérrez de la Cueva, and its name honors both the presidio of San Carlos de Chorreras and King Charles III.
