ABSTRACT
Massimo Ferrari, “Cristián Undurraga: Cappella Nella Valle De Los Andes, Chile,” 2010
The Chapel del Retiro, or the Chapel of Retreat, is located 70 kilometers [43.5 miles] north
of Santiago in the Valley of the Andes, a beautiful area in the center of Chile. The chapel is
part of a larger complex of buildings that includes the Sanctuary of Teresa de los Andes and
the Carmelite Monastery of Auco along with other support buildings. It sits south of the rest
of the structures along the central axis of the building complex, which runs north/south in
alignment with the valley (Figure 15.2).
