Summary
Research on the Churches of Chiloé reveals that churches, both architecturally and symbolically, historically served as central points around which urban settlements in the archipelago developed. However, contemporary globalization and urban expansion threaten this cultural pattern by encroaching upon spaces integral to religious expressions, transcending the traditional boundaries of church properties. The study employs a spatial analysis approach to trace the evolution of populated entities linked to Chilote religiosity, highlighting the tension between historical urban development and modern cultural shifts.
