Ex Sanatorio Laennec, Tuberculosis sanatorium in San José de Maipo, Chile.

The building complex occupies an entire block of 10,000 square meters, featuring neoclassical architecture with adobe walls and marble windowsills.

Built in 1896 as Hotel Francia, the facility transformed into Sanatorio Laennec in 1932, named after the French physician who pioneered tuberculosis treatment.

The sanatorium represents a period when San José de Maipo gained recognition for treating respiratory illnesses due to its dry mountain climate.

The property consists of two main structures: the original building with adobe walls and a newer section constructed with reinforced masonry.

The building's corridors connect different rooms and two courtyards where numerous families from the region received medical care until 1976.
