History

History of Barrio Lastarria

Lastarria is the neighborhood where Santiago becomes walkable. Between Cerro Santa Lucía and Parque Forestal, its few blocks concentrate museums, bookshops, cinemas, terraces and workshops in early 20th-century buildings.

Its axis is José Victorino Lastarria street, pedestrian for most of its length, with cobblestones, restored façades and an antiques fair that sets up on weekends.

The neighborhood is home to the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center (GAM), the Museum of Visual Arts on Plaza Mulato Gil de Castro and the Veracruz Church, one of the oldest surviving temples in the city center.

It is also the neighborhood of quiet nightlife: signature cuisine, wine by the glass and specialty coffee shops open from early on, making Lastarria a comfortable base for anyone spending several days in Santiago.
