Iglesia de la Epifanía del Señor, Catholic church in Providencia, Chile.
The Iglesia de la Epifanía del Señor is a religious building in Providencia featuring a bell tower with semicircular windows and a four-sided spire in neoclassical style. The structure incorporates stone staircases and a wooden roof in its design.
The building opened in 1916 and was influenced by ideas focused on improving workers' living conditions. Its construction incorporated parts of an earlier school structure that stood on the site.
The church has long served as a gathering place where local residents came together for religious services and community celebrations. Today, it remains a focal point for worship and maintains its role in the neighborhood's social fabric.
The building is located at the intersection of Bellavista Avenue and Archbishop Casanova Street in the Leon XIII neighborhood, making it easy to find. Visitors should plan their visit around regular service times and dress respectfully when entering.
The building creatively reused an existing Mercedes Guzman School structure, transforming it into a place of worship. This adaptive approach demonstrates how early 20th-century construction practices adapted existing buildings for new purposes.
