House of Memory José Domingo Cañas

House of Memory José Domingo Cañas, Historic memorial site in Ñuñoa, Chile

The memorial building stands at José Domingo Cañas Street 1367, featuring exhibition spaces that document Chile's military dictatorship period through photographs and artifacts.

From 1974 to 1977, this location operated as the Ollague Barracks detention center under the National Intelligence Directorate, where 61 people disappeared during their detention.

The foundation organizes educational programs and workshops focused on human rights, connecting former detainees with younger generations to share historical experiences.

Visitors can access guided tours of the memorial site from Tuesday to Friday, with advance reservations required for group visits through the foundation's website.

The site preserves marked foundations of the original structure alongside modern exhibition spaces, creating a physical timeline of the building's transformation from detention center to memorial.
