The Stella Maris Church (Spanish: Iglesia Stella Maris) is a Roman Catholic parish church in the neighbourhood of Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]
The edifice was built in 1918, designed by architect Rafael Ruano.[2] It is dedicated to Our Lady, Star of the Sea, in allusion to the fact that Carrasco was a seaside resort when it was established at the beginning of the 20th century.
The parish was established on 24 February 1934.[1]
Several years ago a wooden image of a Christ Pantocrator was added to the main altar.[3]
In the front yard can be seen an image of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three, patron saint of Uruguay.
