Castro, (pop. 18,000) established in 1567, is the second largest city in the Chiloé region and the main destination for most visitors in this area. The city is known for its "palafitos", houses build on stilts over the water. The other most notable sight in the city is the brightly painted Iglesia San Francisco.
