Palacio Piwonka, Palace in Santiago commune, Chile.
The palace displays neoclassical architecture with rococo influences, featuring columns on its facade and an ornate Oregon pine front gate with opaline glass decorations.
Ricardo Piwonka, a German businessman who arrived in Valdivia in 1853, constructed this residence in 1918 after establishing successful milling operations in Santiago.
From the second-floor gazebo, the Piwonka family would observe the national day parades that passed along Ejercito Street during the early 20th century.
The building at Manuel Rodriguez Sur Avenue 415 now functions as the central administration headquarters of Universidad Diego Portales following its acquisition in 1995.
The entrance leads to an octagonal hall illuminated by a modernist skylight, preserving the original architectural elements from its construction period.
