The Church of Christ the Worker and Our Lady of Lourdes (Template:Lang-es), also known simply as Iglesia de Estación Atlántida, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Estación Atlántida, Uruguay.[1]
The temple is dedicated to Christ the Worker and Our Lady of Lourdes.[2] This building constitutes a renowned architectural landmark, it was built in 1958-60 by engineer-architect Eladio Dieste. It is architecturally striking, described as "a simple rectangle, with side walls rising up in undulating curves to the maximum amplitude of their arcs"; the material is a very simple brickwork, which conforms an interesting reinforced ceramics structure.[3]
