Copiapó Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Copiapó, Chile
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary features a central nave constructed with Oregon pine and Maule oak, displaying regional craftsmanship throughout its structure.
The original parish church from 1766 was destroyed by an earthquake in 1796, leading to a 55-year period where religious services were held in the Chapel of the Jesuits.
The cathedral maintains its position as the primary religious institution of the Diocese of Copiapó, established in 1874, serving the local Catholic community.
Located on the western side of Plaza Prat at the intersection of Chacabuco and O'Higgins streets, the cathedral remains open for daily worship and visits.
English builder William Rogers led a team of 16 carpenters to construct the cathedral using double partition walls measuring 13 millimeters in width.
