Palacio Errázuriz Urmeneta, Neoclassical palace in Santiago, Chile
Palacio Errázuriz Urmeneta is a neoclassical palace in Chile's capital built with a clear three-part structure. A central two-story section stands flanked by two single-story wings adorned with ionic and Corinthian columns.
The palace was built in 1872 by Italian architect Eusebio Chelli and commissioned by surveyor and politician Maximiano Errázuriz Valdivieso. Later, in 1941, it shifted to a diplomatic purpose and has served as Brazil's embassy in Chile ever since.
The building carries the name of an influential 19th-century family and reflects their taste for European refinement. The interior spaces reveal how Santiago's upper class once lived and entertained their guests.
The building sits on Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins and serves a diplomatic purpose today. Since it functions as an embassy, public visits are not available, though its architectural merit can be appreciated from outside.
The entrance pavilion opens onto an honor courtyard inspired by Renaissance villas, topped with a loggia and marble staircase. This design created a private transition space that separated the public street from the intimate interior.
