Casas de Lo Matta

Casas de Lo Matta is a colonial building in Vitacura featuring adobe walls, wooden beams, and characteristic second-floor balconies supported by columns along Kennedy Avenue. The complex contains multiple restored rooms that serve various purposes while maintaining the original colonial layout.

The property originated from a 200-hectare land grant given to conquistador Francisco de Riveros by the Santiago Council in 1546. This original land formation provided the foundation for the colonial structures that developed and remain today.

The Cultural Corporation of Vitacura uses the site to host art exhibitions and cultural events within the restored colonial rooms. Visitors can encounter contemporary and traditional artists displaying their work in this historical setting.

The monument is located near Alto Las Condes shopping center with regular bus services on Kennedy Avenue and Las Condes Avenue. The site is easily accessible by public transportation in a well-connected part of the city.

A garden restoration project preserved the original layout and fruit trees, maintaining the agricultural character from the early colonial period. These green spaces show how the original residents used and shaped their surroundings.
