Palacio Falabella, Manor house in Providencia, Chile.
Palacio Falabella is a manor house in Providencia spanning three floors with a basement, decorated with Florentine mosaics and white marble throughout. The structure features an entrance hall with an oval stained glass window, ornamental wooden details, and includes a upper floor terrace.
The palace was built in 1924 by architect Guillermo Mancelli for textile businessman Arnaldo Falabella. It marked a shift from continuous facade designs to standalone residential buildings in the neighborhood.
The building displays Italian Renaissance elements through its detailed mosaics in the upper window sections. These decorative features reflect the craftsmanship and refined taste that shaped the architectural preferences of early 20th-century Santiago's elite.
The building sits at Pedro de Valdivia Avenue 963 and now operates as the headquarters of Providencia Municipality. It functions as an administrative center, so visitors should plan visits during normal business hours.
The top floor includes a terrace with views across the neighborhood, providing a retreat above the street. The entrance hall features a French rococo wooden lamp that adds period character to the arrival space.
