The most beautiful religious buildings San Cristóbal

The church was built in the 19th century, in front of Trujillo's birthplace. It was to receive the remains of his family members. The church was named after Padre Ayala, a priest born in La Vega in 1789. He was taken prisoner by the Haitian Dessalines in 1805, took part in the Reconquest battles in 1809, then found his way by entering the orders in 1815. He was responsible for the construction of the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, which he began in 1828 and completed about ten years later. He died in 1879 at the age of 90.

This church, built in 1949 at the request and with the financing of Trujillo, was built by the French architect Henry Gazón Bona. Nuestra Senora de la Consolacion was a gift from the dictator to his native city. The temple is decorated in its central nave with murals by the famous Spanish painter-muralist José Vela Zanetti. Unfortunately, the complex was destroyed in 1979 by the hurricane David, of sinister memory, and has been rebuilt since then.
