Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Holy Guardian Angels Church is a Catholic church located in Providencia, Santiago de Chile. It was declared as a National Monument of Chile in 1990, within the category of Historic Monuments.[1]

History

In 1853, the then Archbishop of Santiago de Chile Rafael Valentín Valdivieso purchased a part of the Quinta Alegre estate and adjacent farm lands to found a seminary in Santiago. The site was roughly bounded by the present day streets: Providencia Avenue, Condell Street, Rancagua Street and Seminario Street.[2]

In 1884, Monsignor Casanova ordered the construction of a new church building to replace the overcrowded original chapel of the seminary.[2]

Architecture

The church building was designed in a Roman-influenced style by the architect Ignacio Cremonessi.[1] It has a Latin cross plan.[1] The front facade features an engaged portico with a triangular pediment supported by paired columns. The main entrance is flanked by pedimented niches.
