St. Charles Borromeo Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Chillán, Chile
The cathedral features ten monumental arches forming a single nave that extends fifty-two meters in length and twenty meters in height.
The 1939 earthquake destroyed the previous church, leading to construction of the current cathedral, which was completed and consecrated in October 1960.
Inside the cathedral, sculptures from the Ferdinand Stuflesser workshop in Ortisei, Italy, depict Christ, Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph.
The cathedral stands at the intersection of Arauco and Libertad streets, directly facing the Plaza de Armas in central Chillán.
The 36-meter bell tower serves as a memorial to local residents who perished in the 1939 earthquake that devastated the city.
