Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.
Reviewed By RichardK938 - West Palm Beach, United States
This church is one of the UNESCO Chiloe churches and is really pretty. It has a bright yellow exterior and a fantastic wooden interior with a vaulted ceiling made using ship building techniques. It even takes the shape of an inverted ship's hull. Don't miss this church and as many other UNESCO churches as you can take in.
