Capilla de Santa Cecilia, Catholic chapel in Mar del Plata, Argentina
The Santa Cecilia Chapel features a neoclassical design with three arcades supported by a straight frontispiece and a bell tower topped by a dome with a cross.
Built in 1873 by Francisco Beltrami, this chapel marks the first solid structure in Mar del Plata and determined the initial urban layout of the city streets.
The main altarpiece contains wood crafted by Patricio Peralta Ramos himself, while the current image of Saint Cecilia consists of parts brought from Europe.
Located on Cordoba Street between 3 de Febrero and 9 de Julio, the chapel maintains regular religious services and accommodates up to 400 people.
The chapel walls incorporate wooden planks salvaged from a shipwreck, combined with local stone and lime in its construction materials.
