Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Church

Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Church, Gothic Revival church in Chapinero district, Bogotá, Colombia.

Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Church is a late Gothic church of concrete and brick clad in sandstone or limestone, built on a Latin-cross plan with hexagonal side chapels. Its façade has three sections, three doors, side windows and a rose window showing the Virgin of Chiquinquirá with Saint Andrew and Saint Anthony. The central nave and crossing rise 25 metres under blue rib vaults, and the church has automated bells instead of towers.

Construction started in 1919 and finished in 1959, establishing this site as a new religious center for the neighborhood. Father Fray Juan Alonso Suárez guided its early development as a pastoral hub serving the Chapinero community.

The church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá, and its façade rose window reproduces the original painting with Saint Andrew and Saint Anthony. The Dominican friars have administered the parish since its erection in 1948, when Father Fray Juan Alonso Suárez O.P. became first parish priest. The hexagonal side chapels hold altars and images, and the stained glass windows are of Czech origin.

The building sits slightly above street level: the ground floor holds a religious bookshop, the parish office and a large crypt with its own chapel where Mass is usually held. Stairs at the outer ends lead up to the church itself. The entrance is at Carrera 13 with Calle 51, in Chapinero, beside the territory of the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes.

The church has no towers; instead, several automated bells hang in the facade. The rose window shows the Virgin of Chiquinquirá flanked by Saint Andrew and Saint Anthony, copied from the original painting. The lower floor holds a religious bookshop, the parish office and a large crypt with its own chapel where Mass is usually celebrated.
