Palacio La Alhambra, Historical palace in Santiago, Chile.

The Alhambra Palace extends across 1,170 square meters, featuring two interior courtyards and Moorish-style architectural elements with intricate plasterwork decorations.

Built in 1862 under architect Manuel Aldunate's direction, the palace was commissioned by mining aristocrat Francisco Ossa Mercado to replicate Granada's Alhambra Palace.

The palace houses the National Society of Fine Arts since 1940, serving as a center for artistic exhibitions and cultural events in central Santiago.

Located at 1340 Compañía Street, the palace offers guided tours where visitors can observe the detailed Islamic-inspired mosaics and the replica of Lions Fountain.

The second courtyard contains a water clock fountain where stone lions marked the hours through controlled water streams, replicating the original Granada feature.
