Portal Fernández Concha, Commercial building at Plaza de Armas, Santiago, Chile
The seven-story Neoclassical Portal Fernández Concha features an arcaded ground floor with shops, restaurants, and a passage connecting to other parts of Santiago.
Built in 1871 as a replacement for Portal Sierra Bella, the building was designed by British architect W. Hovender Hendry with financing from the Fernández Concha brothers.
The upper floors transformed from South America's premier hotel to a mix of apartments housing artists, retirees, and entrepreneurs, reflecting Santiago's social evolution.
The ground floor arcade contains numerous food establishments and retail shops, while the building offers direct access to Plaza de Armas metro station.
The Pasaje Matte, designed by French architect Lucien Hénault, runs through the ground floor and was once home to exclusively French retail establishments.
