El Ateneo Grand Splendid

Recoleta · Bookstore · Free

The most photographed bookshop on earth, and it earns it. I read the whole space as a preserved theatre, the books incidental.

A 1919 theatre turned bookshop — frescoed ceiling, gilded boxes, a stage now a café — often called the world's most beautiful.
