Casa de Velasco, Historical monument in Santiago, Chile.
Casa de Velasco stands at the intersection of Santo Domingo and Mac-Iver streets, displaying colonial architecture with three courtyards across two floors.
The Santiago Council granted the land to conquistador Esteban Hernández in 1556, and Juan de Abaitúa constructed an adobe house with tiles in 1730.
The building houses the Chilean Crafts Foundation since 2019, promoting national artisanal heritage through exhibitions and educational programs.
Located in central Santiago, the structure maintains regular visiting hours for those interested in exploring Chilean colonial architecture and craftsmanship.
The 1928 restoration incorporated architectural elements from other demolished colonial buildings, including original railings, beams, and doors.
