Two churches have been severely burned and damaged following a violent night of protests in Santiago, as captured by drone footage on Monday.

The roofs and spires of the churches can be seen completely burned or collapsed.

"It is a horrible feeling of pity that we all have. Nobody can believe it. See how the tower collapsed, see how they looted. They did not even leave the fountains or the dishes alone. The kitchen is lying on the street. It is horrible," said Valeria, a member of the local parish.

The Parroquia La Asuncion and Iglesia San Fransisco de Borja churches were looted and burned as demonstrators marked the anniversary of the start of social unrest in Chile on Sunday.
