Greetings from Santiago, Chile.
Thanks all! Now I just need to get that camera working... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe Cathedral was destroyed by an earthquake in 19th century. This is not the cathedral from 1217 AD ;-)
ReplyDelete@Anonymus - no, the cathedral was almost completely destroyed by the Tatars in 1242, and then rebuilt by 1350s in gothic style. The earthquake in 1880 didn't destroy the cathedral fully, just the ceiling, the bell tower and crushed the original altar. *They* were rebuilt in neogothic style following Bolle's blueprints. in the 19th ct.
ReplyDeleteI showed my 88 year old father your pictures and he said he was confirmed in the Cathedral. Your post allowed me to learn something new about him. Thank you.
