Our Lady of Lourdes Church is the architectural symbol of Chapinero. Built in 1875, it is one of Colombia's early examples of Gothic Revival church architecture, with a tall tower and pointed arches that stand out from the busy streets around Plaza de Lourdes.
The area can feel hectic, but the church is a useful anchor if you are exploring Chapinero on foot. Step inside if it is open, then continue toward the neighbourhood's cafes, bookshops, and nightlife streets.
