Palacio arzobispal de Santiago, Archbishop's Palace near Plaza de Armas, Chile

The three-story neoclassical palace features a rectangular inner courtyard with Doric and Corinthian columns adorning its main facade along Plaza de Armas.

Construction started in 1852 under architect François Brunet de Baines and was completed in 1870 by Lucien Hénault after Brunet's death interrupted the project.

The palace functions as the administrative headquarters for the Archdiocese of Santiago de Chile and contains religious artifacts, paintings, and stained glass windows.

Located at 444 Ahumada Street, the first floor contains retail spaces while upper floors house religious administrative offices and ceremonial rooms.

During the military dictatorship, the palace chapel transformed into an exhibition hall supporting families of missing persons and human rights initiatives.
