Maestranza de San Bernardo, Historical railway workshop site in San Bernardo, Chile.

The Maestranza de San Bernardo spans across five hectares, featuring concrete buildings including the Central Workshop, Blacksmith Workshop, Boiler Workshop, gatehouse, and turntable structures.

Construction of the Central Railway Workshop began in 1913 when the General Railway Directorate acquired 121 hectares of the Cerro Negro estate for industrial development.

The Dutch Company for Reinforced Concrete Works supervised the construction of eight reinforced concrete pavilions between 1916 and 1921, marking industrial architecture advancement.

This historical monument is located on Avenida Portales Oriente 991, maintaining original structures that demonstrate railway maintenance and repair operations.

The workshop complex influenced San Bernardo's growth, leading to a 54.4 percent population increase during the 1920s as workers settled in the area.
