Video shows the dramatic moment a historic church in Iquique, Chile, was destroyed by fire.
Twelve fire departments responded to a fire at a San Francisco church on Friday, but were unable to save the mostly wooden structure, local media reported.
It was the first Catholic church built in the country and was declared a national monument in 1994, according to the World Monuments Fund.
A local official said, “There were no casualties and the cause of the fire is under investigation.”
