Cárcel Pública de Pisagua, Historical prison in Huara, Chile.
The neoclassical two-story building reaches 8.80 meters in height and features a central courtyard with Oregon pine and adobe construction materials.
Built in 1910 during the nitrate industry boom, this prison held political detainees during three different periods of Chilean governance between 1947 and 1990.
The structure stands as a memorial site representing a complex period in Chilean history, particularly during political transitions and social transformations.
The protected area spans 1,390.24 square meters and underwent restoration following earthquake damage in 2005, now serving as an educational destination.
A special section called 'Presidio Especial' operated within the prison from 1942 to 1952, specifically designated for a particular group of inmates.
