Lonely Planet review

Plaza Matriz is Valparaíso's historic core, directly uphill from the Mercado Central, where El Plan narrows and the distinctive hills' architecture starts to take shape. The plaza's major landmark is the Iglesia Matriz, a national monument dating from 1842. This is the fourth church to occupy this site since the construction of the original chapel in 1559. Be on your guard in this area as robberies are not uncommon.
