Pablo Neruda's La Sebastiana
iP15-8509-Pablo-Neruda-House-Valparaiso.jpg
Nobel Prize winner poet Pablo Neruda split his time living in three houses. One of them was La Sebastiana, a Natural Historic Monument in Valparaiso, now converted into a museum house. It's accessed from a second floor entrance to a bright living room and dining room, separated by a circular fireplace. On the next floor is the master bedroom and on the very top is the poet's writing studio, with the appearance of not much more than a wooden shack filled with books, a floor to ceiling portrait of Walt Whitman, and a wall of windows with an exceptional view of the hills and the Valparaíso harbor. Photography was not allowed inside the building.
