Saint Barbara Church

The blue painted church features pointed arches, vertical lines, and ornate architectural details characteristic of Gothic Revival design at Avenida 8 and Calle 95.

Built in 1888, this religious structure remains the sole survivor of the colonial-era buildings that once formed El Saladillo neighborhood's original core.

The parish celebrates its patron saint through annual religious processions and community gatherings that strengthen local social connections throughout Maracaibo.

Visitors can locate the church at the intersection of Avenida 8 and Calle 95, with regular religious services held under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maracaibo.

The exterior walls display a bright blue color scheme that sets this religious building apart from other structures in the Venezuelan architectural landscape.
