The Palacio Pereira is a historic neoclassical mansion located at the corner of San Martín and Huérfanos streets, in downtown Santiago, Chile. Built in the second half of the 19th century, it was declared a National Historic Monument in 1981, but this didn't prevent its deterioration.
In 2011, under the first presidency of Sebastián Piñera, the government bought the building to transform it into the headquarters for the Dirección de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos (DIBAM) and the Consejo de Monumentos Nacionales (CMN). In 2012 an open call for an architectural competition for a preliminary restoration project was launched. The winning project, proposed by the architectural firm led by Cecilia Puga, was announced in December 2012, during the XVII Biennale of Architecture.[1][2] In 2014 the architectural design by Puga, Alberto Moletto and Paula Velasco was completed. The project was completed in 2020.[3]
The palace, along with the Former National Congress Building, served as headquarters of the Convención Constitucional,[4] the Chile's constitutional redrafting group after the national plebiscite regarding this issue held in October 2020.
