Architecture sights in Valparaíso

  1. Cerro Concepción

    Cerro Concepción is one of the most delightful of all Valparaíso's neighborhoods, with its brightly painted corrugated iron facades and pitched roofs. To get there, take the city's oldest elevator, Ascensor Concepción (also known as Ascensor Turri) from the corner of Prat and Carreño, across from the Reloj Turri (clock tower).

    El Mercurio de Valparaíso

    Topped by a mansard roof, the neoclassical El Mercurio de Valparaíso, built in 1903, is the home of the oldest continuously published Spanish-language newspaper (since 1827, pre-dating the building itself).
