A historic landmark, created and Built By French Architect Eiffel himself. Millions of Chilean Pesos have been spent on Renovations, however its hard to see what has actually been renovated ..
Beautiful Cathedral, Awesome welcome with very interesting information. The guy who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France also designed this Cathedral. The cost - free.
Wonderful church designed by French Architect Eiffel (like the tower), you can see that the interior uses a wonderful cast iron design, and a unique feature of Chilean Catholic Churches, the use of wooden paneling.
The San Marcos Church, the current cathedral of Arica was ordered to be built by Peruvian President Don José Balta in 1871 to Gustave Eifell's workshops in France, finishing its construction in 1875. In those years the Eifell workshops were important suppliers of public works in Latin America, and delivered buildings, bridges and all kinds of structures mainly of cast iron packed in drawers that were shipped and then assembled at the destination. Originally the church was destined to the Peruvian spa of Ancón, but the earthquake of 1868 completely destroyed the old Matrix Church of Arica and its assembly in the city of Arica was resolved
