Palacio Baburizza is the former residence of Croatian businessman Pascual Baburizza located in Valparaíso, Chile. It was built in 1916 by Italian architects, and eventually turned into a museum in 1971, and declared a historic monument in 1976.

Palacio Baburizza was built upon request from one of the most important families of Valparaiso, the Zanelli family. It was purchased in 1925 by Pascual Baburizza, a distinguished investor in saltpeter mines who managed to have an important fortune in Chile, which was largely devoted to philanthropic works.^[1]

In 1971, the palace was bought by the local government of Valparaiso to be used as a museum and a school of Fine Arts.^[2] Today, it gathers an important collection of works; many of these bequeathed by Pascual Baburizza. Mauricio Rugendas, Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, Alfredo Helsby and Carlos Hermosilla Álvarez are among the most important painters.^[3][4]

The museum was closed for renovations in 1997 and reopened in 2011. The building is an art nouveau chalet with remarkable details in its woodwork, wrought iron, and central turret.^[5]

The palace is eclectic in style with clear Art Nouveau elements in its façade and a variety of ornamental elements like towers and columns. The style is also represented by its volumetric units given by the balconies, bow-windows, terraces and attics. Inside, the carved wooden copper-coated door stands out. The dining room has a unique renaissance-style fireplace built on marble and decorated with embossed medallions and braids, and above it, a fine linen tapestry from the 18th century.
