Temple Facts
The Bogotá Colombia Temple was the fifth temple built in South America and the first built in Colombia.
Due to difficulties that included finding a suitable location and acquiring property for the Bogotá Colombia Temple, over nine years passed from the announcement to the groundbreaking ceremony.
The Bogotá Colombia Temple is considered by many to be the most beautiful building ever constructed in Bogotá, if not all of Colombia.
"Temples are places of personal revelation. When I have been weighed down by a problem or a difficulty, I have gone to the House of the Lord with a prayer in my heart for answers. The answers have come in clear and unmistakable ways."
—Ezra Taft Benson
