Edificio de El Mercurio de Valparaíso, Newspaper building in Valparaíso, Chile.
The Edificio de El Mercurio stands at the intersection of Esmeralda Street and Concepción Hill, displaying a historicist architecture with eclectic facades.
Founded in 1827 by Thomas G. Wells, Pedro Félix Vicuña, and Ignacio Silva, El Mercurio moved to this purpose-built headquarters in 1901.
The statue of Mercury, with its arm extended toward the sky, marks this building as a symbol of communication and journalism in Chile.

This structure earned the 1979 Biennial Award for Remodeling after transforming 5000 square meters of its interior spaces.
