The Church of San Pedro de Atacama (Iglesia San Pedro de Atacama) is a Catholic church in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Constructed during the Spanish colonial period, it is reportedly the second oldest church in Chile.[1] Indigenous adobe material was used in the church's construction, whose appearance is characterized as simple and elegant.[2][3] The church was built in the seventeenth century, underwent modifications in the eighteenth century, and additions were made in the nineteenth century.[4] The church was declared a historical monument in 1951.[5]
