Casa de la Cultura Andrés Sabella, Cultural center in Antofagasta, Chile
Casa de la Cultura Andrés Sabella is a three-story building designed in French neoclassical style with a distinctive mansard roof and circular windows. The interior features a central courtyard with an imperial staircase connecting the different levels.
The structure was originally built in 1914 as Antofagasta's city hall and received National Historic Monument status in 1999. It transformed into a cultural center in 2000.
The building honors local poet Andrés Sabella, whose personal items and writings are displayed in rotating exhibitions throughout the year. Visitors experience the literary heritage of this important regional figure through the displayed collections.
The building hosts art exhibitions, workshops, concerts, and community events throughout the year for both locals and visitors. The spaces are easily accessible and open for exploring and participating in activities.
The building resulted from collaboration between Italian-Arab architect Luigi Abd-el-Kader and Italian designer Leonello Bottacci alongside Spanish builder Jaime Pedreny. This unusual international partnership created an architectural landmark of regional importance.
