Abstract
Imaginemos a Valparaíso un siglo atrás. Muere la tarde de un día de fines de otoño. Un pequeño navío de tres palos acaba de anclar en la bahía, y tras unos breves momentos en que llama la atención de los porteños, pasa a ser una más entre las Innumerables embarcaciones que allí se hayan. Y es que no es un hecho extraño para los• habitantes de la ciudad, la recalada de una barca como ésta. Sin embargo, esta recalada no será una de tantas. Por el contrario, será el origen de una historia que, entrecruzada con la de Valparaíso, se desarrollará provocando hechos de trascendencia para la ciudad en lo espiritual y en lo físico. Y es que entre el pasaje que desciende de la “Sylphyde” a la mañana siguiente, se hallan seis religiosos pertenecientes a la Congregación Francesa de los Sagrados Corazones de Jesús y de María, de paso hacia sus misiones en Oceanía. Muchos hechos ocurrirán a partir de este momento. El presente trabajo de investigación Histórico- Arquitectónica, tiene por objetivo intentar describir, relacionar e interpretar estos hechos hasta su materialización en una obra de gran importancia para la Historia de la ciudad y para la Historia de la Arquitectura en Chile: La Iglesia de los Sagrados Corazones en Valparaíso.
Imagine Valparaíso in the 19th century. It is late afternoon on a day in late autumn. A small three-masted ship has just anchored in the bay, and after briefly attracting the attention of the locals, it becomes just one more among the countless vessels moored there. The arrival of a ship like this is not an unusual event for the city's inhabitants. However, this arrival will not be one of many. On the contrary, it will be the origin of a story that, intertwined with Valparaíso's history, will unfold, causing events of great significance for the city, both spiritually and physically. Among the passengers who disembark from the 'Sylphyde' the following morning are six religious men belonging to the French Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who are on their way to their missions in Oceania. Many events will occur from this point on. The purpose of this historical-architectural research project is to attempt to describe, relate, and interpret these events until their materialization in a work of great importance for the history of the city and for the history of architecture in Chile: the Church of the Sacred Hearts in Valparaíso.
