As part of a seven-temple announcement on 1 April 2018, during the 188th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson named Salta Argentina as the location for a future temple. The Salta Argentina Temple will be the third Latter-day Saint temple constructed in the country.
Argentina, a country of more than 40 million people, is home to approximately 470,000 Latter-day Saints organized into over 100 stakes and districts. The Salta Argentina Temple will serve members living in the Argentine Northwest who currently travel to the Córdoba Argentina Temple to participate in temple services. The temple is being built on a large grassy field across from the airport in southern Salta.
On 5 June 2020, an official exterior rendering of the Salta Argentina Temple was released.
