Palace of Cerro Castillo, Presidential residence in Viña del Mar, Chile
The Cerro Castillo Palace spans three floors with multiple terraces, featuring a basement level containing reception halls and dining areas overlooking the hillside.
Constructed between 1929 and 1930 on the former Callao Fort site, the palace was commissioned during Carlos Ibáñez del Campo's presidency amid the Great Depression.
The palace represents Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with its arched windows, decorative tiles, and traditional elements that influenced Chilean official buildings.
Visitors can explore the palace gardens, which retain original cannons from the former fort, and observe the building exterior during specific opening hours.
The top floor contains two towers housing the presidential private office, library, radio room, and an observatory with views across Viña del Mar.
