This nighttime image captures a detailed view of the exterior of Saint Mark's Cathedral in Arica, Chile, situated in a paved plaza. The cathedral, occupying the left side of the frame, features cream-colored walls with prominent reddish-brown trim outlining its Gothic Revival pointed-arch windows, which exhibit an internal yellow-orange glow. A distinct corner section of the cathedral, with a dark, pointed roof and a slender spire, is visible towards the center-left. The plaza's ground surface is composed of light-colored, rectangular pavers arranged in a linear pattern, illuminated by multiple artificial light sources. Several tall palm trees with visible green fronds stand on the right side and in the mid-ground, their upper portions silhouetted against the dark night sky. Multiple bright streetlights are active, producing significant lens flares across the scene. In the mid-ground, a textured, elevated structure, possibly a decorative wall or fountain feature, is present and illuminated. Beyond this, scaffolding is discernible against another building. Further in the background, additional buildings are visible, including a multi-story structure on the far right. A white van and another light-colored vehicle are parked on a street in the distant background. The scene is devoid of any visible individuals or ongoing activities.
