Iniguez Palace, French Renaissance building in Santiago, Chile.

Iniguez Palace is a three-story building with an attic level, featuring an ornate stone facade decorated with statues, medallions, and garland reliefs. The structure combines classical French design principles with elaborate exterior ornamentation that covers much of its surfaces.

This building was constructed in 1908 for Eduardo Iniguez Tagle and his wife Loreto Undurraga, designed by architects Alberto Cruz Montt and Ricardo Larrain Bravo. The two architects drew inspiration from French Renaissance styles to create this residence for the prominent family.

The ground floor once held a cafe called Confiteria Torres, while upper levels housed the Iniguez Undurraga family with their own private entrances. This arrangement reflects how wealthy families of the era mixed business and residential life in a single structure.

The DUOC, current owner of the building, began restoration after the 2013 fire and finished it in late 2019. The work added an exhibition room, library, workshops, laboratories, classrooms and a 300-seat auditorium. The building stands at the corner of Avenida Alameda Bernardo O'Higgins and calle Dieciocho.

The 2013 fire required more than nine fire companies to extinguish it, and firefighters reported the structure was at risk of collapse. The current owner, DUOC, then carried out a restoration completed in late 2019, which added an exhibition room, a library, workshops, laboratories, classrooms and a 300-seat auditorium.
