Talk:Iglesia San Francisco de Valdivia

Church age
I understand some ruins might have survied the 1604-1645 period when the city was abandoned making a post-1645 structurethe oldest building but how did it can it came the it was built between 1586 and 1628 when in the last twenty years Valdivia had no Spanish nor missionary precense? Frommer's must be wrong, one historian that might actually have written about this topic is the Valdivian franciscan father Gabriel Guarda. Chiton (talk) 20:07, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
