    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The churches of Chiloé were constructed from wood and boasted a tall central bell tower that rose majestically in a symmetrical design. These churches showed a vibrant brown hue supported by white cylindrical pillars. The most iconic feature of the churches is the front courtyard. A covered entrance supported by a row of wooden columns with rounded edges. The roofs were steeply pitched to allow rain to slide off easily. Small windows punctuate the side walls, while decorative crosses  alongside the building showing religious significance of these buildings. Surrounding the church is a spacious courtyard, enclosed by a perimeter of trees. ]]></dcterms:description>
