 Saint Mark’s Cathedral  St. Mark’s Cathedral, Arica is a compact, Neo‑Gothic church built in 1875–1876 from prefabricated metal components imported after the 1868 earthquake destroyed the original structure. With its distinctive red‑and‑white exterior, a light industrial‑Gothic interior, it has a unique place in South American architectural history. Inside, its single nave leads to a simple sanctuary crowned by a crucifix, while devotional figures - including a reclining Cristo Yacente in a glass case - anchor the cathedral’s spiritual life, making it both a national monument and a serene, deeply human space at the heart of Arica’s Plaza Colón.
