Sagrario Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Rancagua, Chile
The cathedral features Gothic architectural elements and displays design characteristics common to nineteenth-century religious buildings in its exterior and interior structure.
The cathedral's initial construction occurred in 1550 under Diego de Medellín's direction, with French architect Juan Herbage completing the current structure between 1861 and 1876.
The cathedral functions as a central religious institution in Rancagua, holding regular services and ceremonies that bring together community members throughout the year.
Following extensive repairs after the 2010 earthquake damage, the cathedral reopened its doors to visitors and worshippers on April 21, 2011.
The cathedral's structure incorporates elements from different architectural periods, reflecting changes in design and construction methods across multiple restoration phases.
