Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Iquique

Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Iquique, Roman Catholic cathedral in Iquique, Chile.

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral exhibits neoclassical architecture with intricate details on its facade and stands as a principal religious structure in northern Chile.

The cathedral's construction began after a fire destroyed the previous parish church in 1833, leading to its completion and consecration in 1882.

The cathedral functions as the center of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Iquique, hosting regular services and religious ceremonies for the local community.

Located at the intersection of Calle Obispo Labbé and Esmeralda, the cathedral remains open to visitors who wish to explore its architectural features.

In 1884, the cathedral temporarily housed the remains of naval hero Arturo Prat and other fallen soldiers from the Battle of Iquique.
