Palacio Vásquez, Historical monument in Macul, Chile

Palacio Vásquez, also called Castillo de Macul, is a three-story building with a lookout and a base, standing on the northwest corner of Los Plátanos and Avenida Macul in central Macul. It is one of the last remnants of the large country houses that lined Avenida Macul in the early 20th century. Municipal offices and the mayor's workplace now occupy the interior.

The palace was built in 1931 by Fermín Vásquez Menéndez and received protected monument status in 2009. This recognition reflects its importance as a significant early 20th-century local structure.

Locals call it Castillo de Macul, a nickname that stuck to the three-storey house. The Municipal Council met in the Salón Azul until the building became the mayor's workplace, and municipal offices still occupy the interior.

The building sits at a clearly visible street corner and functions as the city's administrative hub where various public services are located. Visitors should know that the spaces serve administrative purposes and are accessible mainly during business hours.

The building has three floors plus a lookout, not five. Fermín Vásquez Menéndez, a Spanish-born industrialist, commissioned architect José Luis Mosquera to design it in 1931, but construction was never fully completed. His daughter Joaquina was the only family member to live there until his death, when the house was auctioned.
