The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago is defined by its two prominent bell towers that rise above the northwest corner of the Plaza de Armas. This building serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Santiago and is the fifth cathedral to stand on this exact site. Every previous structure here fell to fire or the relentless force of earthquakes, which have repeatedly tested the city's ambition since the first chapel was built of mud and straw in fifteen forty-one.
