SAN ANTONIO DE COLO CHURCH
It is part of the group of 16 wooden churches of Chiloé recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2000.



This building is located in the rural town of Colo, in the Commune of Quemchi. Its founding date dates from 1785, so it follows that it was not part of the Jesuit mission and its origin would therefore be Franciscan.
The current construction was carried out at the end of the 19th century, possibly around the year 1890, with coigüe and cypress woods and a stone base. Its portico has two-piece unworked log pillars, the arches are semicircular and the pediment is overlapping. The central nave has a semicircular arch vault and its pillars are columns with a cylindrical section and a base with ornaments. It is one of the most isolated and difficult to access churches in Chiloé. Unlike its peers, it is not near the sea and even turns its back on it, on top of a hill.
