Iglesia grande de Andacollo

The church features a central dome supported by four columns, incorporating classical Byzantine architectural elements with detailed stone and brickwork patterns throughout the structure.

The construction of this religious edifice during Chile's development represents the introduction of Byzantine architectural principles to South American ecclesiastical buildings.

The church serves as a central gathering place for religious ceremonies and traditional celebrations, drawing people from across the Coquimbo Region.

Visitors can access the church daily through the main entrance on Plaza de Andacollo, with extended hours during religious festivals and celebrations.

The building combines Byzantine architectural traditions with local Chilean construction methods, resulting in a distinct interpretation of Eastern Orthodox design principles.
