The park was inaugurated in 2000, representing a multi-year effort to create a permanent religious exhibit.
It features a 12-meter-tall animatronic figure of Jesus that performs a daily Resurrection sequence.
The park's layout is structured chronologically, guiding guests from the Nativity to the Resurrection.
Many of the props and architectural elements were constructed using lightweight materials designed to withstand the coastal humidity of Buenos Aires.
The park includes a replica of the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) where visitors place written prayers in the cracks.
Tierra Santa is the world's first religious theme park, designed to recreate the atmosphere of Jerusalem during the time of Jesus Christ. The park features life-sized mechanical figures, including a massive animatronic representation of Jesus that rises from behind a mountain during the 'Resurrection' show. Visitors walk through streets built to mimic ancient architecture, including a Roman-occupied market and a replica of the Wailing Wall. The park integrates live actors with mechanical displays to depict various biblical stories and milestones. It is located on the banks of the Río de la Plata, occupying a significant plot of land near the city's northern coastal zone. The park includes several themed restaurants serving Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. It operates primarily as an immersive, narrative-driven historical simulation for educational and religious tourism.
