La Chascona is one of the three houses that belonged to the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. Located in the Bellavista neighborhood of Providencia in Santiago de Chile, today it is a museum that houses the poet's collections and serves as the headquarters of the Pablo Neruda Foundation. It was declared a National Monument in 1990.

In 1953, Neruda acquired a plot of land on the slopes of Cerro San Cristobal, where he built this house to live with Matilde Urrutia, who was his lover at the time. The architect in charge was the Catalan Germán Rodríguez Arias, although Neruda had an active participation in the design, modifying plans and adjusting the architect's ideas. The name of the house, La Chascona, is a tribute to Matilde and her abundant reddish hair.

Initially, only Matilde lived in the house, until 1955, when Neruda separated from his second wife, Delia del Carril, and moved to La Chascona.

When Neruda died on September 23, 1973, just twelve days after the coup d'état in Chile, his remains were mourned in this house, despite the difficulties arising from the political situation. Matilde was in charge of repairing the damages suffered by the house and preserving the poet's legacy. She remained in the house until her death in January 1985.

Currently, La Chascona houses several of Neruda's collections, including books, figureheads, shells and bottles from around the world. It is also the headquarters of the Pablo Neruda Foundation, which uses the space for cultural activities and to facilitate the work of researchers interested in the poet's legacy.

In June 2013, the Estravagario cultural space was inaugurated, located next to the gardens of the house museum. This space, intended for poetry recitals, book presentations and other cultural events, was acquired to clear La Chascona and create a cultural center, like those that already exist in the houses of Isla Negra and Valparaíso. According to Fernando Sáez, director of the Foundation, this new acquisition made it possible to move the Foundation's administrative offices and open more areas of La Chascona to the public, including the first dormitory. The structure of the newly incorporated house is remarkably tall, as it was previously the workshop of sculptor Marta Colvin when she lived in Santiago.
