Casona Cienfuegos, Gothic Revival building in Santiago, Chile

The 1700-square-meter Casona Cienfuegos features medieval architectural elements, including gargoyles and stained glass windows imported from Europe.

Architects Ismael Edwards Matte and Federico Bieregel designed this building in 1926, with Edwards Matte serving as its first owner.

From 1953 to 2002, the building functioned as the headquarters of Colo-Colo sports club, hosting significant events like Carlos Caszely's wedding in 1973.

The Faculty of Law of Alberto Hurtado University currently occupies the building, located at Cienfuegos Street number 41 in central Santiago.

The building incorporates architectural elements potentially influenced by Edwards Matte's interest in alchemy, as investigated by Chilean scholar Sergio Fritz in 2006.
