Población León XIII, Social housing complex in Providencia, Chile.
The residential complex consists of 164 houses featuring continuous facades and interior gardens along tree-lined streets between Bellavista Avenue and Nueva Dardignac.
Construction began in 1891 following Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum, with support from Melchor Concha y Toro and Manuel José Yrarrázaval until 1910.
The Church of the Epiphany of the Lord, built in 1916, stands as a centerpiece of the complex, incorporating colonial, neoclassical, and modern design elements.
The neighborhood maintains its residential character while accommodating cultural activities between San Cristóbal Hill and the Mapocho River in central Santiago.
This complex represents one of Chile's first social housing developments and received National Monument status as a Typical Zone in 1997.
