Altar of the
Virgin of the Candelaria.
Wood, mid 18th century, in a transitional style between
baroque and neoclassicism. It belonged to the chapel in
the San Borja college until it was transfered to the
Chapel of James the Apostle in the cathedral at the end
of that century. A hundred years later, it was taken to
the Chapel of Ossa which was built about 1862 in the
gardens of Conventillo. In 1878 it was given by the
Archbishops office to the Franciscans for their
headquarters in Chile.
