Iglesia del Corazón de María, Valparaíso

The church features a main nave and a smaller side nave, constructed with mass concrete and steel framing, topped by a tower with bells and clock.

Founded by the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1895, the church underwent reconstruction after the 1906 earthquake and reopened in 1913.

The church displays various national flags representing different foreign communities in the region and changes them according to specific celebrations.

Located at the intersection of Uruguay and Pocuro streets at the base of La Cruz hill, the church now operates under the administration of Valparaíso Diocese.

The building combines traditional Gothic Revival architecture with modern construction materials, including laminated wood ceilings and steel framework structures.
