Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Candelaria, Colonial Catholic chapel in Sabaletas, Montebello, Colombia.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Candelaria features thick walls of 80 centimeters built with mud and covered with lime and manure coating.

The chapel, constructed in the early 17th century, received national monument status through decree number 3003 issued on December 10, 1984.

Inside the chapel, colonial altarpieces display the central figure of the Virgin of Candelaria alongside statues of Saint Barbara and Saint Anthony.

The chapel stands at the end of a narrow street in Sabaletas, with a three-step stone platform forming its entrance atrium.

The rectangular structure spans 535 square meters, containing preserved artifacts including a silver monstrance, antique ornaments, and a small Quito Christ figure.
