Chapel Nuestra Señora de Lourdes, Neo-Gothic chapel in La Planicie, Caracas, Venezuela.

The chapel features a square bell tower with an octagonal pyramidal dome, pointed arches, and large wooden doors on its northern facade.

The chapel was constructed in 1885 under President Joaquín Crespo's decree and designed by architect Juan Hurtado Manrique in neo-Gothic style.

This religious structure stands within the Núcleo de Desarrollo Endógeno Eje Turístico El Calvario, designated as a National Historical Heritage site in 2006.

The chapel remains closed to visitors, with no current religious ceremonies taking place inside the building.

From its position on Calvario hill, the chapel offers views over central Caracas through a mirador located at the rear of the structure.
