Lonely Planet review for Iglesia de San Francisco

The first stone of the austere Iglesia de San Francisco was laid in 1586, making it Santiago’s oldest surviving colonial building. Its sturdy walls have weathered some powerful earthquakes, although the current clock tower, finished in 1857, is the fourth. On the main altar look for the carving of the Virgen del Socorro (Our Lady of Perpetual Help), which Santiago’s founder Pedro de Valdivia brought to Chile on his 1540 conquistador mission to protect him from attacks.

    ¿Para me?

    tigernerve recommends this,

    Para mi, profiero algo mas narrable y mas vivo. No me gusto. Pero escuche de una iglesia buena. Se llama iglesia cristiana internacional o algo. Has visto la pagina, algo como santiagoicc.org o algo. Pero mi gusto la pagina mucho.
