At the foot of Cerro Santa Lucía, Lastarria is Santiago’s cultural district: cobbled streets, an arthouse cinema, bookshops, terraces and the Gabriela Mistral cultural centre.
The district is named after José Victorino Lastarria, a 19th-century writer and politician. Its European-influenced houses mostly date from the early 20th century.
