Palacio Elguín, Historical palace in Barrio Brasil, Santiago, Chile

The three-story mansion exhibits a mix of Italian Renaissance, Gothic, and Byzantine architectural elements with ornate balconies and stained glass windows.

Mining entrepreneur Nazario Elguín commissioned German architect Teodoro Burchard to construct this residence in 1885 after purchasing land from Mercedarian priests.

The palace functions as Casa Palacio, offering exhibition spaces, art workshops, and cultural programs across its twenty rooms and basement gallery.

Located at 2133 Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, the building contains 1,400 square meters of renovated space with restored wooden floors and walls.

The dining room features French Renaissance furniture with a buffet decorated with relief carvings of Isabella I of Castile and Christopher Columbus.
