The history of the Metropolitan Cathedral dates back to 1745 when the construction of the current temple began, which is the fifth church built in this place, facing the Plaza de Armas. It was finally consecrated in 1775, and a few years later the Italian architect Joaquín Toesca was in charge of the construction of the façade that is currently seen. The Cathedral was declared a Historical Monument of Chile on July 6, 1951.
