Abstract
This paper analyzes the trajectory of the architect Manuel Aldunate Avaria, who designed in 1862 the so-called Alhambra palace in Santiago, Chile, under the patronage by Francisco de Ossa. Traditionally it was indicated that the architect traveled to Granada to study and copy the ornaments of the medieval building. However, this study confirms that Aldunate used another way to create the Neo-Moorish forms of the Chilean mansion: the recreation that Owen Jones made of the famous The Court of the Lions in Sydenham (London) and the international dissemination of his drawings, inspiration for Aldunate.
