Discover Our History and Lineage

The Worshipful Lodge Caballeros de Memphis No. 50 was born with the firm purpose of preserving the mysteries of Egyptian Masonry within a framework of full regularity. Our Patent Charter, granted by the Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic, expresses the juridical and institutional foundation of our existence and symbolizes a lasting commitment to the ancient landmarks, ritual discipline, and the continuity of Masonic lineage.

Hall of Lost Steps

The transitional space where we leave behind the passions of the profane world before seeking the light.

The Pronaos

The threshold of preparation. Here, the soul disposes itself to mystery and deep reflection.

The Naos

Our sacred space. Under the celestial vault, we gather to hew the rough ashlar and build temples to virtue.
