Nuestra Señora del Carmen, Aguada, Montevideo

The Church of Our Lady of the Mount Carmel (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen), popularly known as Iglesia de la Aguada, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Montevideo, Uruguay.

History
Originally there was a small church where, in 1829, the First Constituent Assembly was summoned.

The current temple it was created in 1861 and built in 1890, in a neoclassical style with two bell towers on its main façade. It was declared a parish on September 8, 1866 by the bishop of Montevideo Jacinto Vera.

The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a very popular devotion of the Virgin Mary.

In the 1930s, as a result of the construction of the Diagonal Agraciada, its neoclassical façade had to be demolished and rebuilt in 1935 by the architects Elzeario Boix y Horacio Terra.
