Iglesia de la Asunción, Santiago de Chile, Catholic parish in Santiago commune, Chile
The Iglesia de la Asunción stands at the intersection of Vicuña Mackenna Avenue and Barón Pierre De Coubertin Street in Santiago's central district.
The church, established in 1876 under Monsignor Rafael Valentín Valdivieso, emerged from the division of three parishes due to Santiago's eastern expansion.
The parish earned recognition as the church of artists, serving as a preferred location for funeral ceremonies of numerous Chilean performers and creators.
The parish maintains detailed records of marriages and baptisms, which were transferred to the Historical Archive of the Santiago Archdiocese in 1982 and 2011.
During the Chilean military regime, the adjacent parish house functioned as a computation center for documenting human rights violations cases.
