Asilo de las Hermanitas de los Pobres de Santiago, Historical nursing home in Santiago, Chile.

The Asilo de las Hermanitas de los Pobres de Santiago occupies a corner site at Carmen and Ventura Lavalle streets, with an H-shaped plan whose central chapel separates the men's and women's wings. Its visible brickwork frames doors and windows with arches of varying types, and reinforced concrete is used in the floors between levels. The Carmen street facade is set back behind a palm garden, while a larger garden for recreation lies to the east.

The Hermanitas de los Pobres congregation, founded by Juana Jugan in 1839 in Saint-Servan, France, settled in Chile through Juana Ross de Edwards and Archbishop Mariano Casanova. Rosario Fernández Concha donated the land and commissioned French architect Eugène Joannon Crozier to build the asylum in 1898. After the 2010 earthquake caused severe damage and forced evacuation, the nuns' demolition request was rejected in June 2011; the building was declared a National Monument in 2012 and acquired by the Municipality of Santiago in 2017.

The building came into existence through donations from a wealthy family and shows how the Catholic Church supported elderly care in Chile. It is used today by the community and reflects the social work that religious institutions provided to the city.

The building sits at the corner of Carmen and Ventura Lavalle streets, making it easy to locate. Visitors should note that the complex houses public services and parts of the gardens are accessible to the public.

The nuns tried to demolish the building after the 2010 earthquake to replace it with a new one, but the Santiago municipality's works department denied the permit in June 2011. The elderly residents were moved to congregation houses on Avenida San Pablo and in Viña del Mar.
