Votive Temple of Maipú, Catholic basilica in Maipú, Chile.

The Votive Temple of Maipú is a Catholic basilica in Maipú, Chile, built in pale beige concrete in a symmetrical Art Deco form. A central tower with a louvered belfry and cross rises between two lower pylons and tiered side wings, above a deep entrance porch and an arched grid-patterned panel. At 91 m it is the tallest church in the country.

The foundation stone was laid in 1818 after the Battle of Maipú secured Chile's independence. The current building was completed in the 20th century, after earlier construction plans were abandoned.

The sanctuary takes its name from the Virgin of Carmen, Chile's patroness, and pilgrims from across the country come here to show their devotion. Visitors can attend masses and prayer services, especially on July 16, when thousands of faithful join a large procession.

The basilica is open to the public on most days and sits in a large square that can be explored on foot. The museum inside opens on selected days and displays collections of religious art and objects from different periods.

Just beneath the roof of the 63 m central belfry is an observation deck inaugurated on 3 April 2012, the 25th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's visit. Reached by lift or 323 steps, it has a compass rose pointing to Marian sanctuaries worldwide. Below the sanctuary, the Museo del Carmen displays liturgical items and artefacts from the site.
