St. Mark's Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Arica, Chile
The cathedral features Gothic-style architecture with stamped and molded cast iron construction, painted throughout its entire structural framework.
Following a devastating earthquake in 1868 that destroyed the original church, President José Balta commissioned this new cathedral, which was inaugurated in 1876.
The cathedral represents a pivotal moment in regional religious administration, transitioning from Peruvian to Chilean leadership during the early twentieth century.
The cathedral maintains regular hours for worship services and offers limited wheelchair access through designated entrance points for visitors with mobility needs.
French engineer Gustave Eiffel designed and prefabricated the entire cathedral structure in his workshop before shipping it to Arica for assembly.
