Iglesia de la Recoleta Franciscana, Neoclassical church in Recoleta, Chile
The church displays three round arched entrances leading to separate naves, with Ionic pilasters decorating the main facade topped by a triangular pediment.
The current structure, initiated in 1843 under Father Vicente Crespo's direction, replaced previous buildings that collapsed during the 1730 earthquake.
The church maintains daily soup kitchens serving numerous homeless individuals, continuing a long tradition of community support in Santiago.
Located at Recoleta Street 220 in Santiago, this religious monument welcomes visitors to explore its architectural details and spiritual heritage.
The church features an octagonal tower with oriental influences, divided into four sections and crowned with a distinctive lantern structure.
