Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, Bogot, Gothic church in La Candelaria, Colombia.
The red and white striped exterior of the church rises 57 meters high, featuring Byzantine decorations and Arabic architectural elements throughout the structure.
Italian architect Giovanni Buscaglione designed this religious building in 1926, incorporating influences from his travels through Egypt and Turkey into the final design.
The structure stands as a National Monument of Colombia, representing the fusion of European Gothic architecture with Middle Eastern design elements in South America.
Located at Carrera 5 No 8-36 in central Bogotá, the church opens daily with extended hours from Monday to Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The interior features three naves arranged in a Latin cross layout with alternating red and white stripes continuing from the exterior facade.
