Los Dominicos Park, Public park in Las Condes, Santiago, Chile
Los Dominicos Park is a cultural space in eastern Santiago featuring gardens, walking paths, and an artisan village with traditional adobe buildings and craft studios. The site includes a network of paved courtyards and green areas where restored farm structures now serve as galleries and retail spaces.
The site originated as Fundo Apoquindo, a historic farm that included the San Vicente Ferrer church and agricultural buildings spanning generations of land use. During the 1980s, former cellars and stables were adapted into specialized craft workshops.
The artisan village here displays traditional Chilean crafts, regional foods, and handmade goods sold by local makers who work in the converted farm buildings. You can watch craftspeople creating pottery, textiles, and wood items as you walk through the market.
The Los Dominicos metro station provides direct access to the park from central Santiago via Line 1 of the underground system. The site is easy to navigate on foot, with clear pathways connecting the buildings and market areas.
The white church at the park's heart is San Vicente Ferrer, commonly called Iglesia Los Dominicos after the Dominican Order that once served it. In Chile the name is stressed on the third-to-last syllable, unlike the usual Spanish pronunciation elsewhere. The church is listed as a national monument, and the metro station opposite its western edge carries the same name.
