The Cathedral of the Santísima Concepción is the cathedral of Concepción de Chile, seat of the Archdiocese of the Santísima Concepción and one of the main temples of the Catholic Church in Chile.
The old cathedral of the city, located in the same place where the current one is, was considered of great architectural, cultural and social value. After the Chillán Earthquake of 1939, it was seriously affected. Its two towers were swaying dangerously, so it had to be demolished.
Present Cathedral After the destruction of the Old Cathedral, the need arose to build a new temple for the faithful penquistas, to replace the one destroyed by the earthquake.
This began to take shape on November 3, 1940, and the cathedral was officially inaugurated and handed over for worship, on July 11, 1964, the day of its Consecration.
It is located next to the Cathedral of Concepción, in Caupolicán 441.
