Palacio Lyon, Valparaíso, Historical monument in Valparaíso, Chile.
The palace features stone masonry foundations measuring 1.5 meters thick and brick walls reinforced with steel tensioners, covering an area of 2030 square meters.
Architect Carlos Von Moltke Koefoed constructed this residence between 1881 and 1883 for Santiago Lyon Santamaria and Gertrudis Perez Izquierdo before its sale to the government in 1910.
The Natural History Museum of Valparaíso, established in 1878 by Eduardo de la Barra, operates within the palace walls, maintaining scientific collections and exhibitions.
Located at Condell 1546-1552 in Valparaíso, the building underwent several transformations, including modifications to its grand entrance staircase due to street level changes.
The structure withstood the devastating 1906 earthquake thanks to its robust construction methods, while many surrounding buildings suffered significant damage.
