Casa Maroto, Historical monument in La Reina, Chile

Casa Maroto is a house built in 1920 at the corner of Avenida Ossa and Hanover Street, facing Plaza Egaña in La Reina, Santiago. It has an Italian architectural style from the early 19th century and since October 2013 has housed the Santiago Jazz Club as a cultural center.

Rafael Maroto Hurtado, grandson of a royalist military figure, built this residence in 1920 as a private home. He later donated it to the Chilean Red Cross, which managed the property for decades before it became a cultural center.

The house operates as a cultural venue hosting the Santiago Jazz Club, where music performances and community events bring the space to life. Visitors experience how a historic residence has become a place where contemporary art and tradition coexist within the same walls.

The house sits at a busy intersection with good access by public transport in the La Reina neighborhood. Visitors should check ahead for event schedules, as the venue hosts performances and activities on specific dates throughout the year.

Casa Maroto was donated to the Chilean Red Cross in the 1960s and stayed in its hands until it was sold in 2006. The 2010 Chile earthquake caused structural damage to the house before it reopened as a cultural centre in October 2013.
