Palacio Bruna, Manor house in Merced Street, Santiago, Chile
The three-story palace features Italian Renaissance architecture with tall columns, large windows, and terraces decorated with garland friezes on the facades.
Senator Augusto Bruna commissioned the palace in 1916, but due to the decline of the nitrate industry, he faced bankruptcy and sold it to the US Embassy in 1921.
The interior displays green and black Italian marble walls, symmetrical staircases, and European wood parquet flooring that reflects early 20th-century Chilean architectural preferences.
Located at Merced 230 across from Parque Forestal, the building houses the Chilean National Commerce Chamber since 1995.
The palace served as the residence of US ambassadors from 1939 to 1962, then as the US consulate until 1994, before becoming a National Historic Monument in 1996.
