After victory over the Spaniards at the battle of Maipú in 1818, Bernardo O’Higgins himself proposed construction of a tributary temple to the Virgen del Carmen, Chile’s patron saint. Begun shortly thereafter, the original temple went unfinished until 1887, then suffered such serious damage in the earthquakes of 1906 and 1927 that this new modernist—some might say brutalist—church was constructed of reinforced concrete. Architect Juan Martínez Gutiérrez began the project in 1944, dropping out 20 years later, and not until 1974 was it complete.
