Iglesia del Carmen, Catholic parish church in Santa Tecla, El Salvador
The neo-gothic structure features a central aisle, artistic interior paintings, and a facade dedicated to the Lady of El Carmen in 1910.
Colonel León de Jesús Castillo initiated the construction in 1855, following the establishment of Nueva San Salvador, after surviving severe injuries.
The Jesuits assumed stewardship in 1916, transforming the church into a center for religious education and community gatherings in Santa Tecla.
The church requires extensive reconstruction due to earthquake damage in 2001, with restoration plans currently under governmental heritage preservation review.
The building process extended over multiple decades, involving different pastors who contributed to its expansion and artistic development from 1856 to 1914.
