The first religious theme park in the
world invites you to travel through time
and discover a one in a million city and
her protagonists. In an estate larger
than 7 hectares, the Holy Land
recreates Christ's life, starting from his
birth and up until the resurrection.

As if they had entered a time tunnel, thousands of Argentineans return 2,000 years to the past and are transported around 13000 km in space. After leaving Buenos Aires's downtown, the adventurers arrive at Parque Norte where Tierra Sante (Holy Land) has been installed. The place is an audacious and original amusement park dedicated to showing the main episodes of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It took Fernando Pugliese, a plastic artist, 6 years to develop the idea. The park has over a thousand human and animal life-like figures and thirty constructions resembling those days. The park is divided into thirty-seven passages. The first five tell the history of the Jewish people: >From when God created light to God's promise of a Messiah, King David's descendant.
In a strict manner, Christianity began when the archangel Gabriel told Mary she had been chosen to be the mother of God's child. Watching the scene also allows you to become familiar with the carpentry workshop of Mary's husband, Joseph. The visitor travels alongside these two characters on their trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem. The road is desert-like and, in real life, it extends up to 150 kilometers. Joseph and Mary are about to fulfill Cesar Augusto's edict to register in one's city of birth. |

When they arrive at the small city, the couple can't find a place to lodge in. They find shelter in a stable for Mary to give birth. A starred dome reproduces Bethlehem's cave. Light and sound effects increase the realism of the scene. Pugliese comments on this: people can mount the camels because they're made of glass fibers; in other parts of the world this becomes impossible because they're plaster figures.
