History

Due to growth in Peru, church leaders announced in 1981 that a temple would be built in the city of Lima. The six-spired Lima Peru Temple was constructed on 2 hectares (5 acres) of undeveloped area. Gordon B. Hinckley, then a counselor in the church's First Presidency, dedicated the Lima Peru temple on January 10, 1986.

The Lima Peru Temple serves more than four hundred thousand Latter-day Saints in the country. The temple has a total floor area of 890 square metres (9,600 sq ft), four ordinance rooms, and three sealing rooms.

On April 3, 2016, church president Thomas S. Monson announced the intent to construct a second temple in the city. [1] This temple will be called the Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple. [1] Upon completion of this second temple, Lima will be the third city (and first outside of Utah) to have more than one temple, following the Utah cities of South Jordan and Provo. [2]

In 2020, the Lima Peru Temple was closed temporarily during the year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. [3]
