    Templo Votivo de Maipú

    Set on the site of the battle where Chile finally repelled the Spanish in 1818, this impressive modern templo votivo de maipú is a replacement for the earthquake-felled original, the ruins of which you can still see today. Completed in 1974, the temple looks stark from the outside, but the huge arched ceilings and tranquility are awe-inspiring within.
