Lonely Planet review for Basílica del Salvador

A landmark in Barrio Brasil is the quake-damaged, neo-Gothic Basílica del Salvador dating from 1892. It is often closed, except on special occasions. West of the Vía Norte Sur, the previously neglected Barrio Brasil is enjoying a surge in popularity. Deserted decades ago by the well-heeled for supposedly more desirable residences in the east, many of the younger well-to-do are returning to enjoy the area's lively bohemian buzz.

The charming, verdant Plaza Brasil, with its towering spindly monkey puzzle tree, is the centerpiece. All walks of life, including the neighborhood's many students, come to hang out here on weekends.

    Imposible to go Inside

    jorgee_ignacio does not recommend this,

    Is a really Cute Church, but is in an Horrible conservation. The 2010 Chile Earthquake destroy its left side.

    If you look the front, you will see really nice details, is a Gotic Church that doesnt envy nothing to Spanish Churches in Madrid, but you cant go inside unless you are the president of Chile (And you will have troubles).
