Casa Colorada (English: Red House) is a colonial house located in Santiago, Chile. It was built in 1769,[1] by Joseph de la Vega for Mateo de Toro Zambrano, and currently houses the Museo de Santiago (English: Museum of Santiago). The house has a clay-tiled roof, balconied windows, and deep-red walls, and consists of two storeys.[1] Visitors walk through the homes two large patios to get the Museo de Santiago, which occupies five of Casa Colorada's rooms. The museum explores Santiago's history from the Pre-Columbian era to contemporary times.[1]
