Ciudad Juárez México Temple, Mormon temple in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico
The Ciudad Juárez México Temple is a single-story Latter-day Saints temple on Calle Paraguay in Colonia Partido Romero, about three kilometers south of the U.S. border. Its 990-square-meter plan measures 77 by 149 feet, clad in white marble veneer, with a central spire topped by an angel Moroni statue. Inside are a baptistry, two instruction rooms and two sealing rooms; Alvaro Inigo designed it and Jacobsen Construction built it.
The temple opened in February 2000 following a groundbreaking ceremony that brought together more than 1,700 community members. The building was constructed as a house of worship for the growing congregation in the border region.
The temple serves as a spiritual gathering place for the local community and draws worshippers from across the border region. Its bright exterior and distinct architecture make it a recognizable landmark in the city.
The temple stands at Calle Paraguay #290, at the corner of José Borunda in Colonia Partido Romero, about three kilometers south of the U.S. border. Unlike Sunday meetinghouses, it is closed to casual sightseeing: after the 2000 dedication only members holding a current temple recommend may enter. Members from El Paso, Texas, cross the border regularly to attend.
The building attracted around 25,000 visitors during its opening week who came to explore the newly completed facilities. This strong turnout showed the widespread support from the local and regional community.
