Casona Ochagavía, Historical Monument in Pedro Aguirre Cerda, Chile

The central courtyard of Casona Ochagavía features long corridors supported by wooden pillars and extends across two floors with multiple rooms.

Built between 1760 and 1770, the mansion served as a strategic location for the patriot army before the Battle of Maipú in 1818.

The architectural design reflects the traditional style of 19th-century Chilean haciendas, with foundations made of piedra bolón and walls of clay mixed with straw.

The municipality of Pedro Aguirre Cerda currently manages the property, which underwent repairs following damage from the 2010 earthquake in Chile.

A four-meter-wide eucalyptus tree trunk remains on the grounds, marking where General San Martín reportedly observed royalist forces during the independence campaign.
