Palacio Carrasco, Cultural center in Viña del Mar, Chile

The Renaissance-style palace contains marble staircases, large rooms with high ceilings, and ornate decorations throughout its three floors.

Construction of Palacio Carrasco started in 1912 for saltpeter businessman Emilio Carrasco, who passed away in 1923 before its completion.

The building houses the Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna Municipal Library, Historical Archive, and hosts regular art exhibitions, concerts, and theater performances.

Located at 250 Libertad Avenue between streets 3 and 4 Norte, the palace opens daily and offers guided tours of its architectural features.

The palace front displays The Defense, a bronze sculpture created by Auguste Rodin in 1878, installed at this location in 1977.
