Iglesia Matriz de las Hermanas de la Providencia, Catholic church in Providencia, Chile.
The church features neo-renaissance architecture with a single nave, brick masonry walls measuring 1.6 meters thick, and ornate ceiling decorations throughout the interior.
Built between 1881 and 1890 by Italian architect Eduardo Provasoli, the church opened with its first mass on August 15, 1890, attended by President Jose Manuel Balmaceda.
The church holds such importance that it influenced the naming of both Providencia Avenue and the surrounding municipality in Santiago de Chile.
The church stands at Nueva Providencia 1619, and received extensive renovations by architect Amaya Irarrázaval in 1993.
A fire in January 2011 severely damaged the structure, including the museum and elderly home that operated within the complex.
