Saint Rose of Lima Ortiz Church

*Greetings dear traveling friends from Hive and from this great community, it is a pleasure to be able to greet you and share with you part of what was my stay in the Ortiz municipality of the Guárico State, Venezuela. I want to share with you a church that represents a cluster of many feelings historical heritage and above all architectural as we can see in each graph, this church was built inspired by the colonial architecture that prevails in this municipality, a small town that refused to die because historically it was hit by a terrible and deadly disease that ended life of thousands and then the ravages of the civil war did its thing, in this sense Ortiz in principle was the capital of the Guárico state but as a consequence of what was previously indicated, said capital was transferred to the city of Calabozo and later to San Juan de los Morros captain that remains to this day* ![](

This church is named Santa Rosa De Lima in honor of the patron saint of the Ortiz municipality, this church has a wide range of attractive architectural elements that allow that connection with the spiritual, in the same way it is a favorable place where many locals congregate to keep the faith according to the Catholic Church and its religious principles.

something that makes this church visually attractive is its model and colonial design, an aspect that is provided by the materials used in the construction of this emblematic temple, brick after brick gives it an aged but visually attractive appearance, a style that is undoubtedly very beautiful and attractive It is only enough to appreciate it a little on the outside to feel the need to explore it a little more on the inside and learn more about its architecture.

something that I love about this church is the model of the bell tower, a very beautiful aesthetic that resembles a part of a castle from the colonial era

At the main entrances there are two wide doors that give access to the church and where you can see a large part of the architectural and religious elements that make up this appreciable church.

It has three entrances and so it is seen from another angle, another entry point that gives access to the internal part of this unique religious temple where the faithful and devotees of this religion consecrate themselves to raise their faith.

In the internal part it is adorned or represented by multiple sculptures that refer to the Catholic faith represented on this occasion through this virgin

In the same way, it exists in its extensive sculptural compendium, it shows us an important gallery in which we can see Saint Peter, Jesus Christ and other apostles or disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in what was his pilgrimage on earth.

These are part of the different sculptures that we can find within the architecture of this unique church. I hope you like it and enjoy this tour that I share with you. In the same way, we can observe other very striking elements that I will share with you below.

These images on the windows caught my attention where they are also represented in images of virgins and apostles as we can see below and what do you think, fellow travelers?

Here we can see part of the internal lights of the church as well as other representations in images designed in glass in the upper part of the church.

This image of Jesus Christ is located in the upper part of the church, here the Catholics can show their faith, this municipality is incredibly wonderful, it is a very welcoming town, its people are very kind, supportive, and above all friendly.

This part of the church, its roof seems very beautiful to me and it is seen that it is well cared for. This is characteristic of colonial architecture as well as terracotta floors, wooden ceilings and brick walls.

Well, coming to the end of my content for today, I invite you to come to know this little piece of land located in Venezuela, Guárico State. Near the Guárico Capital there is a small town of wonderful people and with a wide cultural and patrimonial history that It is worthy of recognition, I share with you some graphics that I took from the external part of this church that I hope you like, later I will share with you other important and appreciable elements that are found in this town as well as its gastronomy and tourist sites
