San Pedro Church

San Pedro de Atacama Church

The San Pedro Church is the biggest and the most beautiful of the zone. It is surrounded by a pretty wall by marinates with three doors crowned by an arc. It has a single ship, with sacristy and lateral chapels. In the interior emphasizes the peculiarity of its ceiling, whose beams of carob bean, moored with leather tapes, support a ceiling elaborated with cactus small boards and covers of mud and straw. By its four windows a smooth light enters that illuminates the surprising altar and altarpiece in carved stone, where are three rows of polychromatic niches.
