Cordoba Argentina Temple

On 4 October 2008, during the 178th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Thomas S. Monson announced that a temple would be built in Córdoba, Argentina. The temple is being built on the grounds of the Villa Belgrano meetinghouse, next to the recently rebuilt Argentina Córdoba Mission home, in Villa Belgrano. Ground was broken on 30 October 2010 and the temple site was dedicated by Elder Neil A. Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Members in the northern areas of Argentina have had to travel some 400 miles to reach the one existing Argentina temple in Buenos Aires. The first members of the Church in Argentina were European immigrants who requested missionaries in the 1920's. The Church has grown steadily in Argentina over the years. There are now over 350,000 members in Argentina.

The temple was announced by President Thomas S. Monson during the October 2008 general conference of the Church. Ground was broken October 30, 2010.
