Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple, Modern religious edifice in Los Robles, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

The Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple stands on Avenida Bolívar in western Santo Domingo, its exterior clad in Regina white granite. A single square-based tower rises above the entrance, topped by a statue of the angel Moroni. Tall arched windows light the interior, which holds four endowment rooms, four sealing rooms and a baptistry.

Construction started in 1996 and was completed in 2000, making this the first temple of this church in the Caribbean region. The building's completion marked a major development for the religious community's expansion across the islands.

The temple brings together worshippers from across the Caribbean region who gather for ceremonies and religious services. People from different backgrounds use the space for spiritual practices conducted in multiple languages.

The temple stands on an elevated 6.42-acre site at Avenida Bolívar #825, in western Santo Domingo, with a view toward the Caribbean Sea. An adjacent church-run hostel offers overnight lodging for patrons who cannot return home the same day, with a kitchen and dining room but no cafeteria, so meals come from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Most workers are Spanish-speaking Dominicans; patrons needing Dutch, English, French or Haitian Creole should notify the temple before arriving. Only members with a current temple recommend may enter.

During construction, workers hit hard coral rock and spent months on heavy excavation before the foundation could be laid. Raising the angel Moroni statue onto the tower required the tallest crane available in the region, with a worker riding up alongside it to ensure precision.
