List of Chilean cultural relics and monuments
Santiago Cathedral is the cathedral in Santiago, the capital of Chile. It is one of the main centers of religious activities in Chile. It is located in the historic center of San Diego, facing Arms Plaza in the heart of the city and next to the Archbishop of San Diego. The cathedral was listed as a Chilean Historical and Cultural Architectural Heritage Site in 1951.
The cathedral was built in 1748 and completed in 1800. In 1780, the bishop at that time recommended the Roman architect Joaquin Toesca to the Spanish royal family to repair the facade of the cathedral and chapel. The church was given a neoclassical style. The two bell towers were completed at the end of 1800, one year after his death, giving the cathedral what it is today.
There are three arched corridors in the church, each of which is more than 90 meters long; the carved railings and stone masonry inside the church are very exquisite, with the roof being the most important. The wooden statue of San Francisco Chaulho and the 17th-century silver lamp weighing more than 20 kilograms are all worth seeing; the "Last Supper" picture of the place where the sacred relics are placed is also worth seeing. The remains of Chilean archbishops are preserved in the cathedral. On the south side of the cathedral is the Cathedral Museum, which has three exhibition halls, displaying sacred objects, religious paintings, etc.

The Punta Arenas Cemetery is located in the northern part of the city of Punta Arenas in Magellan-Chilean Antarctic Region. It opened in 1894 and covers an area of 4 hectares. It was built to replace the previous husband's tomb because of its legendary story. It is famous around the world and is also known as the most beautiful cemetery in Chile.

Some of the tombs are decorated with marble and bronze, and there are also sculptures placed near the tomb.
The Churches of Chiloé were the beginning of Chile's architectural history and represent the early civilization of the country's modern history. In the 18th century, there were about 300 churches on the large island that made up the island of Chroué and the surrounding islands. The earliest of them was built in 1608 by Jesuit missionaries. After the Jesuits were expelled from South America in 1767, Franciscan friars came to the island to continue building churches.
The church on Chiloe Island is a unique representative of a famous wooden religious building in Latin America. They show the perfect fusion of European culture and local cultural traditions, the harmony of the building style with the local scenery and environment, and the religious concepts of the people in the community where the churches are located. These churches are built of wood and the joints are made with wooden wedges, not nails, which is also unique. Among the hundreds of churches on the island, some are short and frugal, some are tall and exquisite, of which less than 80 have been renovated to varying degrees.

Pietro Atacama San Pietro Atacama is a small town located in the province of Loa in the Antofagasta region. It overlooks the Recankbo volcano and is famous for its outstanding archaeological museum, which houses a large number of historical relics discovered in the area. Its biggest attraction is the local cultural sites in the area, where you can learn about the culture before Columbus discovered the American continent.
San Pietro Atacama is popular for its archaeological sites, beautiful desert scenery and simple customs. It is an oasis town with Spanish-Indian architecture. Most of the buildings here are pure white, and only more than 2500 people live here. It relies on agricultural and tourism income to support its life and is one of the most popular towns in Chile. Tourists who come here want to experience farm life on the farm, farm it themselves, and feed goats and sheep; visit the magnificent desert landscape and the breathtakingly beautiful Moon Valley; and visit the most shocking geysers in the Geothermal Valley.
Because St. Peter Atacama welcomes tourists from all over the world, it has a harmonious atmosphere and atmosphere. It is like a kind old man waiting for the arrival of all kinds of tourists.
Atacama Atacama-This area, the size of two Italians, is the closest natural environment on Earth to Mars. In this barren and highly acidic soil, even bacteria cannot survive. Part of the reason for all this is due to lack of water. This is the driest place on earth. The rainfall every ten years can only be measured in millimeters. In some parts of the desert, there has been no sign of precipitation for hundreds of years.
It takes about 8 hours to drive north from Santiago, the capital of Chile, to reach Antofagasta, the most densely populated city in the Atacama Desert. Local meteorological records show that there are only 20 days with clouds in the city throughout the year, and the rest are all clear skies, with an average annual precipitation of 3 millimeters. Most of the surrounding areas have not rained for 40 to 100 years. The Atacama Desert is therefore called the world's "dry pole".
The Atacama Desert is 160 kilometers wide and 1000 kilometers long. It is close to the Pacific Ocean. It is reasonable to say that there will be no drought, but the Andes Mountains in the north of the desert act as a barrier that prevents the humid air of the Amazon River from moving south. In addition, offshore winds parallel to the coast prevail here, and it is the place where the Peruvian cold current flows through. The coastal air is in contact with the surface of the cold current, and the lower layer is cooled. Water vapor can only turn into fog, but it is difficult to rise to high altitude to condense clouds and cause rain. It is said that there is a place in the area called an "absolute desert" by scientists. Since the Spanish established a meteorological observatory in 1870, there has been no record of rain.
Because there is almost no rain, houses in the Atacama area have no rain-blocking eaves, and most of the roofs are built flat, without considering the slope of drainage. Some people also build a low wall on the roof to store household debris. Although the streets in the city are crisscrossed, there are no drainage channels on the roads. Most people don't know what umbrellas and raincoats are, and there are no rain-proof products to sell in shops large and small. Due to the lack of rain-proof facilities, even a little rain can cause chaos throughout the city and make people confused.
Chuquicamata Mine The Chuquicamata Mine is located in the Antofagasta region in northern Chile, about 1240 kilometers away from the capital Santiago. It is owned and operated by the Chilean National Copper Company (Codelco). It is 4.3 kilometers long, 3 kilometers wide and 850 meters deep. It is the largest open-pit copper mine in the world and the second largest and deepest open-pit mining mine on earth after the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah in the United States.
For more than 90 years, the Chukikamata mine has been the mine with the largest annual copper output in the world. As of 2007, the mine has extracted a total of 29 million tons of copper. According to relevant agencies, despite nearly a century of intensive mining, the Chukikamata mine is still one of the world's largest copper resources, and the mine's molybdenum output is also very considerable. The Chuquicamata mine is one of the deepest artificial scars on earth. This human masterpiece can be clearly seen in pictures taken from space and has also attracted a large number of curious people to watch it in Chile.
