Iglesia de Guacarhue, Historical church in Quinta de Tilcoco, Chile
The Iglesia de Guacarhue features two intersecting naves meeting at the main altar, with adobe walls and traditional tiled roofs.
Italian architect Joaquín Toesca designed this religious building in 1778, also known for creating the Palacio de La Moneda and Santiago Cathedral.
The church interior houses authentic religious images brought by Dominican fathers, including pieces dating from the 18th century.
Following the 2010 earthquake damage, the church underwent complete restoration, receiving new adobe bricks covered with cement and reinforced with metal meshes.
Local adobe craftsmen from the Cachapoal Valley contributed their expertise to maintain the building's traditional earthen construction methods.
