Ermita del cerro Santa Lucía, Gothic Revival chapel on Cerro Santa Lucía hill, Santiago, Chile
The Ermita stands at the peak of Cerro Santa Lucía, featuring pointed arches, vertical lines, and detailed stonework that characterize Gothic Revival architecture.
The chapel occupies a section of the hill where Pedro de Valdivia established Santiago in 1541, marking the beginning of Spanish colonial presence.
Religious ceremonies and community gatherings take place in this chapel, connecting residents with traditional practices while incorporating local architectural adaptations.
Visitors reach the chapel through a network of paths and stairs that wind up Cerro Santa Lucía, with several rest areas along the route.
The chapel incorporates specific structural elements to withstand seismic activity while maintaining Gothic Revival design principles common in Chilean religious architecture.
