La Sebastiana was designed by Spanish captain Sebastián Collado, who died in 1949 before finishing it. Neruda began looking for a house in Valparaíso in 1959, bought the half-built structure with friends, and kept the top floors for himself and Matilde Urrutia. Repairs after the 1960 earthquake and tsunami delayed his move until 1961.
The house was abandoned after the 1973 coup and Neruda's death, then restored and declared a national monument in 1991. Its views over the harbor were a deliberate part of the appeal, and Neruda liked to watch the New Year's fireworks from here.
Viña del Mar, a few minutes north, has a very different feel. Its Flower Clock was inaugurated in 1962, and the Museo Fonck holds an original moai from Rapa Nui.
