Churches of Chiloé
The Churches of Chiloé in Chile are a unique architectural phenomenon in the Americas and one of the most prominent buildings of Chilota architecture. They are made entirely in native timber in an island renown for its damp and rigorous weather.
Built in the 18th and 19th centuries when Chiloé Island was still a part of the Spanish Crown possessions, they represent the culmination of a successful fusion of European Jesuit culture and local native peoples skill and traditions: an excellent example of mestizo culture.
The Churches of Chiloé have been part of the World Heritage Sites since 2000.
