This is the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, Chile, featuring a grand Neoclassical façade with twin bell towers crowned by domed lanterns and crosses. The central portal is framed by large pilasters and ornate sculptural relief, with a prominent statue of Christ atop the pediment. Three arched entrances, rich decorative stonework, and the symmetrical twin-tower composition are hallmarks of Latin American Neoclassical ecclesiastical design.
