Iglesia El Calvario, Medellín, Roman Catholic church in Campo Valdés, Colombia.

Iglesia El Calvario is a Neo-Romanesque Catholic church in the Campo Valdés neighbourhood of north-eastern Medellín, built to echo the proportions and structure of the city's Metropolitan Cathedral. Its single bell tower replaced the planned pair after builder Sixto Ospina judged the damp, unstable ground unable to bear two towers, making the structure lighter.

In February 1934 Monsignor Manuel José Caicedo Martínez granted a licence to build a temple for the 4,464 residents of Campo Valdés, and the first stone was laid in November 1936 by Archbishop Tiberio de Jesús Salazar y Herrera. Plans were drawn by Juan de Dios Cook Arango with master builder Sixto Ospina, who replaced the planned twin towers with a single lighter tower because the ground was too wet and unstable. The parish of El Calvario was created by decree 362 in December 1941 and began operating in January 1942.

The parish was created in December 1941 by decree 362 of the Archdiocese of Medellín, split from the parishes of La Veracruz, El Sufragio, Copacabana and Bello, and began operating in January 1942 for some 23,000 inhabitants. Its patrons, assigned in the 1934 licence, are Christ Crucified and Saint John Nepomucene: the Cristo figure stands in the right nave, Saint John Nepomucene in the left nave where the Blessed Sacrament is kept.

The church is located in an established residential area and is easy to reach on foot if you are nearby. Visitors should go inside during service times or ask ahead if you want to see the interior.

The church was planned with two towers modelled on Medellín Cathedral, but builder Sixto Ospina judged the ground too wet and unstable for that weight and convinced Father Eduardo Díez to build a single tower instead, lightening the structure. Neighbours carried adobes by hand from Calle 72 to the Calle 77 site.
