Revision as of 12:44, 29 April 2024
As part of a seven-temple announcement on 1 April 2018, during the 188th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson named Salta Argentina as the location for a future temple. The Salta Argentina Temple will be the third Latter-day Saint temple constructed in the country.
Argentina, a country of more than 40 million people, is home to approximately 475,000 Latter-day Saints organized into over 100 stakes and districts. The Salta Argentina Temple will serve members living in the Argentine Northwest who currently travel to the Córdoba Argentina Temple to participate in temple services. The temple is being built on a large grassy field across from the airport in southern Salta.
An accommodation center and Church meetinghouse will also be constructed alongside a residence for the temple president and matron.
On 5 June 2020, an official exterior rendering of the Salta Argentina Temple was released.

Attendance at the temple site was by invitation only. Because of current COVID-19 restrictions, local social distancing guidelines were followed. The service was also broadcast to meetinghouses in the temple district.
