Smallest chapel in the world in Lima Peru and Barranco.

Smallest chapel in the world.

This chapel is located in Lima, Peru, in a dangerous area.

This chapel is 5 metres wide, 12 metres deep and 10 metres high.

Where is the smallest church in Spain?

Just over 20 kilometres from Malaga. We are talking about Benalmádena. The Guinness Book of Records confirms that this is the smallest church in the world, measuring just 1.96 square metres. It is located inside the spectacular castle of Colomares.

The church 'Nuestra Señora del Rosario' is located in the district of Rimac, a few minutes away from the city centre of Lima. It has had a pink façade for many years and a small wooden balcony at the top.

There is a tradition in this small chapel which is to wipe a piece of cotton wool over one of the statues and take it to someone who is ill. According to tradition this will cure them.

Barranco.

Miraflores, with its more modern style, attracts any investor or anyone thinking of buying a home. On the other hand, Barranco is history and tradition, attracting a younger crowd. Miraflores is a much more equipped district.

Barranco has been and still is the alternative and bohemian neighbourhood par excellence of the Peruvian capital, with a large number of artists, intellectuals and personalities, such as the writer Mario Vargas Llosa, who until recently lived here. All this makes it one of the most seductive and lively areas of Lima.

Our Lady of the Rosary, also known as the Chapel of the Bridge, measures about 50 square metres, is located in the large district of Rimac, and is considered the smallest church in the world.
