Fundición Lambert, Industrial heritage site in La Serena, Chile.
The Lambert Foundry consists of remaining structures from a 19th-century copper processing facility, positioned near the city center of La Serena.
Charles Lambert established this copper foundry in 1840, introducing reverberatory furnaces to Chile and revolutionizing the national mining industry.
The foundry represents a turning point in Chilean industrial development, marking the transition from colonial to modern production methods.
Recent restoration projects aim to transform the abandoned industrial site into an educational space accessible to visitors and researchers.
The facility housed Chile's first sulfuric acid plant and metal crushing machine, alongside the region's first copper rolling equipment.
