Historic Churches of Chiloé Photo Tour

In the 18th century, there were about 300 churches established on the large island and the smaller islands clustered in the Archipelago of Chiloé. The churches were part of the evangelical mission of the Roman Catholic Church and while almost every settlement had its own church, they shared the services of visiting priests who conducted services and dispensed the sacraments. Many of these churches are listed by UNESCO as cultural heritage sites.
