La Chascona, Historic house museum in Bellavista, Santiago, Chile.

The multilevel residence features curved walls, maritime decorations, and colorful interiors spread across three independent structures on a hillside location.

Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda built this house in the 1950s for his secret meetings with Matilde Urrutia, who later became his third wife.

The museum displays Neruda's personal collections, including his Nobel Prize for Literature, international art pieces, antique maps, and traditional masks.

Visitors can access guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with special extended hours during January and February.

The name derives from Matilde Urrutia's curly red hair, and her portrait by Diego Rivera contains both her face and a hidden profile of Neruda.
