Iglesia La Viñita, Colonial church in Recoleta, Chile
The church features adobe walls of 1.60 meters in thickness, a bell tower, and wooden beams supporting its rectangular central nave.
Inés de Suárez ordered the construction of the first chapel on Huechuraba Hill between 1545 and 1547, making it the first Catholic building in Chile.
The church houses a polychrome wooden statue of the Virgin of Montserrat from 1574, discovered by an indigenous person on the hill.
The building stands at the intersection of Santos Dumont Street and Recoleta Avenue, managed by Fundación Paternitas since 2012.
The current structure, built in 1834, incorporates materials from the original chapel that was relocated from the hilltop due to structural concerns.
