Palacio Irarrázabal

Palacio Irarrázabal is a neoclassical palace with two floors and an attic set in downtown Santiago. Its noble academic facade and central courtyard define the building's classical structure and layout.

Architect Alberto Cruz Montt designed this residential palace in 1906 for the Irarrázabal Fernández family, drawing on French architectural influences of the era. In 1958, the adjacent Palacio Ochagavía was merged into the complex through the efforts of Spanish businessman Miguel Lacámara Bazo.

The building has served as home to the Círculo Español de Santiago since 1940, functioning as a gathering place for the Spanish community in Chile. Today visitors can experience how the space brings together people who share Spanish heritage and cultural interests.

The palace sits at Avenida Bernardo O'Higgins 1550 in downtown Santiago and now functions as a social center with dining facilities. Visitors can arrange events at the venue, including celebrations and special gatherings.

The neighboring Palacio Ochagavía was integrated into the complex in the 1950s, creating an expanded architectural space. This joining of two palaces allowed for a larger venue to serve the growing Spanish community.
