Palacio Larraín Zañartu, Neoclassical palace in Santiago, Chile.
The Palacio Larraín Zañartu exhibits classical proportions with balanced symmetry, featuring detailed architectural elements on its preserved facade at Morandé and Compañía streets.
Built in 1872 by French architect Lucien Hénault, the palace served as the headquarters of El Mercurio newspaper from 1902 until December 1984.
During the 19th century, the palace functioned as a primary meeting point for Chilean political figures, particularly members of the National Party.
The building stands at Compañía 1214, with its facade integrated into a modern shopping center called Espacio M, constructed in 2011.
Following the 1985 Santiago earthquake, only the facade remained and received protection status as a Historical-Artistic Property by the National Monuments Council.
