Town Church

At the south east corner of San José de Maipo town main square, we find the most characteristic building of the zone, it reflects the history and the evolution of the commune, the Town Church; based on historic data it is stated that it became a curacy on December 20, 1798. The intention was to spread the Catholic faith along the whole parish of the range surrounding Maipo River.

This Town Church shows the functionality of the systems for building at XVIII century, the imposing wooden bells tower stands out from the building; it was designed about one century after the beginning of its construction. Within the church we find an atmosphere of spirituality, its rustic style and the toll of the bells make this building to be a place where faith and traditions are deeply felt. Because of its important cultural legacy, almost one month before the celebration of the bicentenary of the foundation of the town it was declared Historic Monument on June 15, 1992 by means of the decree from the Ministry of Education N° 309.
