GUTIERREZ-PINTO, Darci. Between Myth or Reality Gustave Eiffel and San Marcos de Arica Temple. Rev. Arquit. (Bogotá) [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp.69-77.  Epub Apr 04, 2021. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2020.2267.

The research is about Gustave Eiffel and its filiation with the Main Church of San Marcos, whose construction dates in 1875, being the city of Arica part of the Peruvian territory, placing us between the years 1870-1890, when the Public Works of the Government were the main objective of the state, being in charge of the Bureau of Architects and Engineers of Peru, in addition to the information obtained in France and the Fonds Eiffel, which are official documents donated by the family, as well as the official page of the French engineer. It is concluded that Eiffel did not participate in the design and construction of the project, because the building was imported entirely by the Government of Peru from the United States of America, with a complete prefabrication system. These conclusions put an end to the myth that has been managed for years, from the construction of the church to the present
