Iglesia de la Preciosa Sangre, Santiago de Chile

The church features a Latin cross layout with a central nave adorned with stations of the cross decorations throughout its interior walls.

Construction of the Iglesia de la Preciosa Sangre began in 1875 under architect Eusebio Chelli and reached completion in 1905, with dedication ceremonies in 1906.

The church contains a pipe organ manufactured by renowned French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, representing significant musical heritage in Santiago.

Located at Compañía 2226 in Santiago, the church stands on the northwestern side of Plaza Brasil, serving the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santiago de Chile.

The original church complex included a convent with courtyards that extended across what is now Plaza Brasil, between Compañía and Huérfanos streets.
