Santiago, Chile

The project to construct a Bahá’í House of Worship in Chile was announced in 2001. After a design had been chosen from the 185 entries, excavation work on the site began at the end of 2010. Construction of the central edifice and surrounding buildings and gardens was completed in 2016, and the Temple was dedicated on 13 October 2016. It is the eighth and final in a series of Bahá’í Houses of Worship serving an entire continent.
