María Elena Invests in Preserving One of Its Most Iconic Landmarks

October 2, 2026

The San Rafael Arcángel Church is not only one of the most emblematic buildings in María Elena; it is also part of the collective memory of generations of pampinos. That is why the launch of its restoration and enhancement works marks a particularly significant milestone during the town’s centennial year.

The project, developed through a collaborative partnership between the Municipality of María Elena, the María Elena Foundation, and SQM, will help preserve this historic landmark and ensure it continues to serve as a place of gathering, identity, and tradition for future generations. It represents a new chapter for a symbol that has been at the heart of the community’s history for one hundred years.
