The hypothesis of this article is to show the influence of the architecture of the Carabuco temple in the transmission of a message of importance for the time, in the syncretic context of the Bolivian Andes. For this, the history of the temple is told with data obtained from inventory books from 1717 to 1768 and lagging documents found in the Archbishop's Archive of La Paz together with the description and architectural analysis of the exterior and interior taking into account the character evangelizer of most of the religious buildings in Charcas. To achieve this goal, a detailed field work was carried out to survey the temple. The conclusions reached show the undoubted influence of architecture on visual communication with an evangelizing announcement, which makes this temple one more example of the design effort to adapt to a different context.

Keywords : Carabuco church; aftermath; conversion architecture; evangelizing message; desing in the Andes of Bolivia.
