The metropolitan cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santiago, located at Plaza de Armas. Built over many decades in neoclassical style, this cathedral is one of the city's most important religious structures.

Chile's oldest standing church, built between 1586-1618, showcasing colonial baroque architecture. The church survived multiple earthquakes that destroyed most of colonial Santiago. Its sturdy stone construction and thick walls are testament to colonial engineering. The interior features an ornate altarpiece, beautiful wooden beams, and religious sculptures.
