Corte de Apelaciones de Concepción

The Appeal Court of Concepción operates from a robust masonry building that combines traditional and modern architectural elements, reflecting the stability and authority of the Chilean judicial system.

Established in 1845 alongside the La Serena Court, this institution was created through legislation enacted on November 26th to serve the judicial needs of one of Chile's most populated and developed regions.

The court serves as an institutional heritage symbol in the Biobío region, preserving historical documents and records that reflect the evolution of regional law from its founding years to the present day.

Currently composed of nineteen ministers along with judicial prosecutors, rapporteurs and a judicial secretary, the court provides specialized handling of different types of civil, criminal and labor cases throughout the region.

The building features an exterior walkway that pedestrianly connects Diagonal Pedro Aguirre Cerda and the Barros Arana Pedestrian Walkway, facilitating public and legal professional access to the courthouse facilities.
