The Church of San Francisco (Spanish, ''Iglesia de San Francisco''), located on one side of the Plaza de Armas of Castro, Chile, is the main Catholic church of Chiloé’s capital. It has a surface area of 1,404 m2, a width of 52m and a height of 27m. The dome above the church's presbytery is 32m high and the height of its towers is 42m. The church is also known as the ''Iglesia Apóstol Santiago'' (St James Church) and erroneously as the “cathedral”, which is actually to be found in Ancud, headquarters of the diocese of the same name. The Church of San Francisco does however lead one of the 24 parishes that form this diocese.〔(Diócesis de San Carlos de Ancud ). Iglesia.cl. In Spanish. Retrieved 6 January 2013.〕 The church was declared a Chilean National Monument in 1979 and UNESCO World Heritage Site on 30 November 2000.〔(World Heritage Committee Inscribes 61 New Sites on World Heritage List ). whc.unesco.org. November 30, 2000. Retrieved 6 January 2013.〕 ==History== Castro is Chile's third oldest city in continued existence.〔Jorge Sánchez R.: ''Chiloé - tradición y cultura'', p. 31. Santiago de Chile. ISBN 956-309-024-1〕 It was founded in February, 1567 by Martín Ruiz de Gamboa, who was sent by his father-in-law, temporary governor of Chile Rodrigo de Quiroga, to establish a city on the Chiloé Archipelago called Santiago de Castro. That same year, a church was built with the name of the apostle James (Santiago in Spanish), which was to be used in the evangelization of the indigenous peoples of Chiloé. The church was burnt down and rebuilt a number of times until its definitive reconstruction in 1771, and used thereafter as a parish administered by the Jesuits. The church's construction was overseen by the priest Fray Ángel Custodio Subiabre Oyarzún, in charge of the church from 1910 to 1912.
