Iglesia La Tercera, Colonial religious building in La Candelaria district, Bogotá, Colombia.

Iglesia La Tercera consists of a single nave with a chapel set perpendicular to the presbytery, plus a choir loft beneath the entrance. Its flat wooden ceiling is arranged as a vault with geometric motifs recalling the mannerist Sebastiano Serlio. The altarpieces, carved by master Pedro Caballero, show Salomonic columns, rocaille inlay and vegetal reliefs, left unpainted rather than gilded.

Built between 1761 and 1780 to plans by Isidro Díaz de Acuña and Esteban Lozano, the church belonged to the Franciscan Third Order Secular. A cloister stood beside it until its demolition in 1890, and a bridge demolished in 1876 linked it to the San Francisco convent, giving the street its name Calle del Arco.

The name La Tercera refers to the Franciscan Third Order Secular, the lay penitential brotherhood that owns the church and follows the rule of Francis of Assisi. The street outside was called Calle del Arco after the bridge that linked the church to the San Francisco cloister until its demolition in 1876.

The church stands at the corner of Carrera Séptima and Calle Dieciséis, on the street once called Calle del Arco. It forms a set with the neighbouring churches of la Veracruz and San Francisco, so the three can be visited on foot in one outing. The entrance faces the busy Seventh Avenue; the old cloister that once adjoined it no longer exists.

The name comes from the Franciscan Third Order Secular, a lay brotherhood, not from being numbered among neighborhood churches. This connection to the religious order shaped the building's role and meaning in the community for centuries.
