The Lutheran church of La Santa Cruz in Valparaíso was built in 1897 on Concepcion Hill and opened on January 1 of the following year becoming the first Protestant church to raise a temple with a tower and bell tower in South America. It belongs to the community of the Lutheran Church in Chile. Certainly worth visiting when on the Concepcion Hill in Valparaíso.
