The Chapel of Saint Dominic Soriano (Spanish: Capilla de Santo Domingo de Soriano) is a Roman Catholic church building in Villa Soriano, Soriano Department, Uruguay.
History
Santo Domingo Soriano was one of the oldest European settlements in the colonial Banda Oriental (1624) and it had a very humble chapel back then. The present temple was built much later, but nevertheless it constitutes a historic landmark. It features the only articulated image of Christ in Uruguay.
This chapel is annex to the Parish of Dolores.
