Every Sunday, the Anglican cathedral of St. Paul in Valparaíso, Chile, opens its doors at noon to welcome visitors who come to listen to concerts. This routine played out on a century-old organ has kept the church alive for the last 30 years.
Built in 1858, St. Paul’s used to bring together the British community that settled in Valparaíso, the country’s main port, following Chile’s independence from the Spanish Empire in 1818. The city became a hub for immigrants, led by the British and Germans, who were followed by the Italians, French and Spanish.
