ENGLISH VERSION (click here!) When I was in Adicora two years ago, I didn't know that it was home to an architectural gem from yesteryear, the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is very close to the beach. So, before this visit, I made a list of the places in the same area so that I wouldn't forget to visit any of them, including this temple. ![InShot_20251023_102722320.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeAvrbWEnNGgkm8pyddL3jk4p2ZypbUJazPJE83NruxG9/InShot_20251023_102722320.jpg) After taking a look at its imposing [Lighthouse](https://hive.blog/hive-163772/@noalys/the-imposing-adicora-lighthouse-or-el-imponente-faro-de-adicora), I went in search of this religious temple. I had to walk three blocks to reach the Nuestra de Lourdes Church, guided by Google Maps. Luckily, the sky was cloudy and it wasn't too hot, which allowed me to enjoy the walk. ![20250830_074718.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPVTbamr8Us8b5EpcfLiF8dJZeABRHp3L67Fjj6LCscEx/20250830_074718.jpg) The Nuestra Señora de Lourdes Church is located right in front of Adicora's Plaza Bolívar. It has a simple façade with somewhat faded walls, but you can still see traces of royal blue on some of them. Its details are unique, such as the five-pointed stars on its pyramid-shaped dome and the crosses formed by spaces between the concrete of its structure, which can be seen from different points of the compass. ![20250830_075107.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXV4AjbDjfUkae8XGW8pB6Hbb3YmNbK97RFuHKJ3P2gWX/20250830_075107.jpg) ![20250830_074851.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrxma8C2YzimQqwz3M9dvQVtSwwir74vQy7tSxu51YUz/20250830_074851.jpg) ![20250830_074750.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVwupeWvhJ3g6rcCKtni3T5G88cu5yoCfqZimEPXkmeiZ/20250830_074750.jpg) It has five wooden doors, corresponding to a main entrance, two secondary entrances, and two side entrances. Its tiled roof gives it a colonial style that takes me on a journey back in time, although I don't know exactly how old the structure is. ![20250830_074939.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeSeQfmUGKozj5RcDtFGjaygeqx225cRjWCa1mMEnedRP/20250830_074939.jpg) ![20250830_074759.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbme42njCSVuLpMxnunCEZ7D3ARDyuwWEcaMknzDTWx3z/20250830_074759.jpg) ![20250830_074830.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf1LzMUfubTfSTtsnEWLTpMkqVrvb6ebUgWv4RwEsyEur/20250830_074830.jpg) Outside the church, there is a niche made of river stones, awaiting the Patron Saint of Adicora, Our Lady of Lourdes, who is the Virgin Mary to whom fishermen are devoted, especially in this area where one of their main sources of income is fishing. although this image was donated by tourists, asking for her blessing during their tour of this land, full of beautiful beaches. ![20250830_075548.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPiTYQKfP9QAFR9RRt3YxNMPyavUpvxBPBA3cTtnxNARi/20250830_075548.jpg) ![20250830_074747.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcQFbykABwgciPVVHfrR7tEo3xXBKr4jAr8PEhAnvqinY/20250830_074747.jpg) Thank you for joining me on this visit. ![20250830_074909.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZZUuHZuEqxHPLBNF1t7EEToi2K3aCAtPmmQj5d8rCe1V/20250830_074909.jpg)

Cuando estuve en Adicora hace dos años desconocía de que albergaba una joya arquitectónica de antaño, la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Lourdes, que está muy cerca de la playa, así que antes de esta visita elabore una lista de los lugares que quedaban en la misma zona para no olvidar visitar ninguno, incluyendo este templo. ![InShot_20251023_102722320.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeAvrbWEnNGgkm8pyddL3jk4p2ZypbUJazPJE83NruxG9/InShot_20251023_102722320.jpg) Luego de darle un vistazo a su imponente [Faro](https://hive.blog/hive-163772/@noalys/the-imposing-adicora-lighthouse-or-el-imponente-faro-de-adicora) fui en busca de este templo religioso, tuve que caminar tres cuadras hasta llegar a la Iglesia Nuestra de Lourdes guiándome del Google Maps, por suerte el cielo estaba nublado y no había tanta sensación térmica que me permitió disfrutar del paseo. ![20250830_074718.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPVTbamr8Us8b5EpcfLiF8dJZeABRHp3L67Fjj6LCscEx/20250830_074718.jpg) La Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Lourdes se encuentra justo al frente de la Plaza Bolívar de Adicora, tiene una fachada simple, con paredes un tanto desteñidas pero que aún aprecia parte de un color azul rey en algunas de ellas, sus detalles son únicos, como unas estrellas de cinco puntas en su cúpula con forma piramidal y unas cruces formadas con espacios entre el concreto de su estructura, que pueden verse de distintos puntos cardinales. ![20250830_075107.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXV4AjbDjfUkae8XGW8pB6Hbb3YmNbK97RFuHKJ3P2gWX/20250830_075107.jpg) ![20250830_074851.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrxma8C2YzimQqwz3M9dvQVtSwwir74vQy7tSxu51YUz/20250830_074851.jpg) ![20250830_074750.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVwupeWvhJ3g6rcCKtni3T5G88cu5yoCfqZimEPXkmeiZ/20250830_074750.jpg) Posee cinco puertas de madera, que corresponden a una entrada principal, dos secundarias y dos laterales, tu techo es de tejas lo cuál le da ese estilo colonial y que me lleva a un viaje directo al pasado, aunque desconozco cuántos años exactamente tiene su estructura. ![20250830_074939.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeSeQfmUGKozj5RcDtFGjaygeqx225cRjWCa1mMEnedRP/20250830_074939.jpg) ![20250830_074759.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbme42njCSVuLpMxnunCEZ7D3ARDyuwWEcaMknzDTWx3z/20250830_074759.jpg) ![20250830_074830.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf1LzMUfubTfSTtsnEWLTpMkqVrvb6ebUgWv4RwEsyEur/20250830_074830.jpg) Fuera de la iglesia, se encuentra un nicho en piedras de río, aguarda a la Patrona de Adicora, que es Nuestra Señora de Lourdes y es la advocación de la Virgen María a quién le rinden devoción los pescadores y más en esta zona que una de sus principales fuentes de ingresos económicos se encuentran en el oficio de la pesca, aunque dicha imagen fue donada por los turistas, pidiendo su bendición durante el recorrido por está tierra, llena de playas bonitas. ![20250830_075548.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPiTYQKfP9QAFR9RRt3YxNMPyavUpvxBPBA3cTtnxNARi/20250830_075548.jpg) ![20250830_074747.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcQFbykABwgciPVVHfrR7tEo3xXBKr4jAr8PEhAnvqinY/20250830_074747.jpg) Gracias por acompañarme en esta visita. ![20250830_074909.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZZUuHZuEqxHPLBNF1t7EEToi2K3aCAtPmmQj5d8rCe1V/20250830_074909.jpg) --- Fotografías tomadas con un Samsung Galaxy A35.
