Stella Maris Church
Capilla Stella Maris
The Stella Maris Chapel, perched on Stella Maris Hill, is the patron sanctuary of fishermen and offers views over the bay.
Stella Maris Chapel is dedicated to Stella Maris (Star of the Sea), the patron of fishermen. It stands on a hill between Friars’ Tower and Playa Grande, with a simple, dignified stone exterior. Every September, fishing fleets hold a sea procession in honor of the Virgin. The chapel sits within the city’s oldest high-end residential district, with quiet streets and elegant villas, making it a good walk together with the Castagnino Museum and the Museum of the Sea. Admission is free.
