Barrio Bellavista, Bohemian district between Mapocho River and San Cristóbal Hill in Santiago, Chile.
The Bellavista neighborhood spans across two communes, Providencia and Recoleta, with Pío Nono Street serving as the main connecting artery.
The area developed from its colonial identity as La Chimba into an urban district following the construction of Cal y Canto Bridge in early 1800s.
La Chascona, the former Santiago residence of poet Pablo Neruda built in 1953, stands as a museum within the neighborhood's artistic landscape.
Visitors can access Bellavista through Baquedano Metro station, located south of the Mapocho River, or explore the weekend craft market on Pío Nono Street.
The district offers direct access to Metropolitan Park via a funicular at Pío Nono Street, leading to Cerro San Cristóbal and the National Zoo.

This selection presents wall paintings in cities worldwide. Public art changes urban landscapes through colors and shapes. From social themes to graphic designs, these locations show international street art in alleys, on building walls and public squares.
Urban art transforms global cities into open-air galleries, where walls serve as canvases for artistic expression. From Miami to Berlin, from São Paulo to New Delhi, murals and graffiti redefine public spaces and encourage visitors to explore neighborhoods dedicated to this form of contemporary art. These works, often large-scale, reflect social, political, and cultural concerns while enriching residents' daily lives. In Miami, Wynwood district has established itself as an international reference with 7,500 square meters of walls painted by artists from sixteen countries. Berlin, a city shaped by history, features the East Side Gallery, where 1.3 kilometers of the former Wall display 105 murals by artists from twenty-one countries. In São Paulo, Beco do Batman in Vila Madalena offers a colorful route through alleys filled with evolving artworks. New Delhi also has Lodhi Colony, where large murals by international artists interact with local architecture. These locations allow an understanding of urban art's diversity and vibrancy.
