Clínica Santa Lucía, Historical detention center in Santiago, Chile
The four-story building with Gothic elements features Tudor arches, structured balconies, and an attic designed by architect Alberto Cruz Montt in 1934.
Between 1973 and 1977, the building operated as a clandestine detention facility where political prisoners endured severe physical abuse under medical supervision.
The structure now functions as an educational center with exhibits documenting the experiences of individuals who were held within its walls during the military regime.
Located at Santa Lucía 162, the building offers guided tours that explain its transformation from a medical facility to a detention center during the dictatorship.
Medical professionals at the facility participated in maintaining prisoners' survival specifically to continue interrogations, creating a system of prolonged institutional abuse.
