The Cathedral of The Most Holy Trinity (Spanish: Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad), popularly known as "Templo Inglés", is an Anglican church in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Overview
The original temple dates back to the 1840s and was built directly on the seashore. It was made possible through the sole effort of Samuel Fisher Lafone.[1]
At the beginning of the 20th century it was re-built on its current location, due to the modern development of the Rambla of Montevideo.
It is the cathedral of the Uruguayan diocese of the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America.[2]
