Iglesia Los Doce Apóstoles, Catholic church in El Almendral district, Valparaíso, Chile
The Iglesia Los Doce Apóstoles stands at the intersection of Avenida Argentina and Juana Ross, next to the National Congress building in Valparaíso.
Architect Teodoro Burchard initiated the construction in 1869, following designs by Juan Eduardo Fehrman, and the church served as a field hospital during the War of the Pacific.
The church represents the late 19th-century European architectural influence in Valparaíso, reflecting the period of substantial economic and population growth in the port city.
Located at Avenida Argentina 550, the church maintains its position as an essential reference point for commercial activities and community gatherings in El Almendral district.
The structure occupies an irregular plot of land that harmoniously integrates with El Almendral's urban landscape, demonstrating adaptation to the city's topography.
