Palacio Matte, National monument in Santiago, Chile

The Palacio Matte features a continuous facade at the intersection of Compañía de Jesús Street and Hermanos Amunátegui Street in central Santiago.

In 1883, Palacio Matte became the first private building in Santiago to receive electrical power installation, preceding even the presidential palace La Moneda.

French architect Henri Grossi transformed the interior in 1910, creating a music room, library, and office space that reflected European architectural influences.

The building sustained substantial damage during the 2010 earthquake, leading to the relocation of the School of Government and Public Management.

The central hall displays a glass dome decorated with native Chilean copihue flowers and green garlands, illuminating the double-height space below.
