Escuela Ramón Barros Luco

Escuela Ramón Barros Luco, Educational monument in El Almendral, Valparaíso, Chile.

Escuela Ramón Barros Luco is a school building at the corner of Victoria and Morris streets in El Almendral, Valparaíso, built in 1924 by architect Alfredo Azancot. It is a three-story structure with a continuous facade, high ceilings and spacious classrooms. The building has stood unused for classes since the 2010 earthquake left it seriously damaged.

The building was designed in 1924 by architect Alfredo Azancot as part of a state program to create grand school buildings following the 1906 earthquake. This rebuilding effort transformed how Chile's government approached the design of public education spaces in the aftermath of natural disaster.

The school is named after Ramón Barros Luco, president of Chile from 1910 to 1915, not an educator. Its 1924 building by Alfredo Azancot belongs to the reconstruction of El Almendral after the 1906 earthquake. Since the 2010 earthquake damaged it, students have attended classes at the Scuola Italiana Arturo Dell' Oro.

The building stands at the corner of Victoria and Morris streets in the El Almendral district of Valparaíso's flat plan. It is a National Monument, but the school has been closed since the 2010 earthquake and restoration works stalled twice, so the interior is not open; the exterior can be seen from the street.

The school is named after Ramón Barros Luco, president of Chile from 1910 to 1915, not an educator. Its building, finished by Alfredo Azancot in 1924, was declared a Historical Monument by Decree No. 355 of 20 May 2003. Restoration stalled twice: the contractor failed in 2012 and again in 2020 at 50% progress, so pupils moved to the Scuola Italiana Arturo Dell' Oro.
