Villa Hispania stands as a testament to the architectural beauty and rich history of Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located on Cerro Bellavista, one of Valparaíso's 40+ hills, its name reflects the beautiful bay views. This 'reddish castle,' as it's known, was built in 1937 by architect Sebastián Collado, also known for La Sebastiana, one of Pablo Neruda's homes. Originally the home of Sebastián Collado Mauri, a Spanish industrialist, Villa Hispania later became associated with the renowned poet Pablo Neruda. The Collado Jaume family, known for their contributions to the city, left a lasting legacy within its walls. Antonieta Collado, daughter of Sebastián, is known to have grown up here surrounded by pets. The building later became a boutique hotel. Visitors are enchanted by the stunning facades and artistic flair that characterize the buildings in this area. The vibrant colors and intricate designs reflect the city's bohemian spirit, making it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
