Santa Cruz Catholic Church
Santa Cruz Catholic Church, Catholic church in South Tucson, United States
Santa Cruz Catholic Church stands at 1220 S. Sixth Avenue near the Santa Cruz River, featuring white painted walls and a distinctive bell tower.
The church construction began in 1916 under Bishop Henry Granjon of Tucson and its bells announced the end of World War I in November 1918.
The church integrates Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with Islamic design elements, represented in its minaret-style tower and baroque decorative elements.
The building includes a rectangular skylight that illuminates the altar area and a continuous choir loft positioned above the eastern entrance.
This structure represents the largest mud-adobe building in Arizona, constructed with unstabilized bricks made at the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
