Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Christ of Toledo Parish Church (Шаблон:Lang-es) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the suburban neighbourhood of Villa García, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]

History

Doroteo Garcia, an owner of wide tracts of land in Villa García, died in 1885. His widow Carolina Lagos decided to build this church as a memorial to her husband. It was built in a historically eclectic style, with a neoclassic facade. Its architect is unknown. It was erected on a hill that can be seen from far away, and was consecrated in 1891. Inside, there is a Carrara marble sculpture of Christ by the sculptor Romairone.[2]

The parish was established on 30 October 1919.[1] The Salesians of Don Bosco now run an oratory devoted to children in a situation of social risk.[3]
