A través de este artículo se presentan los resultados preliminares de una amplia investigación sobre élite y visualidad durante la belle époque en Chile, tomando como punto de referencia al palacio como objeto de distinción social y su impacto en la conformación de nuevos barrios para la clase alta durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en Santiago, Chile. A partir del caso del palacio Vergara, construido alrededor de 1870, se analiza la arquitectura como referente simbólico de representación social de la élite y su relación con la especulación inmobiliaria, la que dio origen al sector conocido como “Alameda sur poniente”, poniendo de manifiesto estrategias urbanísticas ligadas a la segregación física y simbólica entre los grupos sociales.Palabras clave: élite, arquitectura, urbanismo.
