Latin America hosts the world's largest Catholic population, and its architectural evolution reflects significant cultural and social transformations. Over time, churches have shifted from grand colonial Baroque structures to contemporary designs that resonate with local surroundings and identity. As Catholicism sees declining membership, new architectural approaches aim to create open, inclusive spaces that encourage community interaction. This evolution illustrates a blend of faith, cultural identity, and architectural innovation, highlighted by churches across the region that integrate local materials and natural light, enhancing their spiritual and social roles in daily life.
The architecture of Catholic churches in Latin America has undergone a profound transformation, moving from colonial Baroque styles to contemporary expressions reflecting local identities.
