Chilean architecture has been influenced by various foreign architectural trends and styles throughout its history. One of the most significant influences comes from colonial Spanish architecture, which can be seen in the structure of many churches and public buildings throughout the country, especially in cities such as Santiago, Valpara&&i&&so and La Serena. These buildings usually have baroque or neoclassical facades, with ornamental details and architectural elements characteristic of the Spanish colonial era.

Another important influence on Chilean architecture is European architecture of the 19th century and early 20th century, particularly the neoclassical style and the eclectic style. These styles can be seen in public buildings, private residences and large mansions in cities such as Santiago and Valpara&&i&&so. The French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc also had a significant influence on Chilean architecture, especially in the restoration of historic buildings.

In the 20th century, modern and functionalist architecture also left its mark in Chile, especially through architects such as Emilio Duhart and Carlos Martner, who introduced modern ideas into urban planning and the architecture of public buildings. In short, Chilean architecture has been shaped by a variety of foreign influences over the centuries, giving rise to a rich diversity of styles and designs throughout the country.
