Barrio Lastarria, Cultural district in Santiago, Chile.

The neighborhood extends between Santa Lucía Hill and Parque Forestal, featuring neoclassical buildings, stone-paved streets, and traditional architecture from the 1900s.

The area started developing around Iglesia de la Veracruz in 1857, when wealthy Chilean families built European-style mansions in this central location.

The district contains numerous art galleries, theaters, cinemas, and museums, including the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts and Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral.

Visitors can access the neighborhood through Universidad Católica and Bellas Artes metro stations, with multiple restaurants and cafes along José Victorino Lastarria Street.

The Plaza Mulato Gil de Castro, constructed in 1981, preserves historic facades from the early 19th century and houses an antiques market.
