Today, the colorful and colorful Valparaiso has been a fateful one. Since the city was founded in 1536, the city has been repeatedly destroyed by pirates, storms, fires and earthquakes. Most of the buildings we saw today were destroyed in 1906. Rebuilt after the earthquake. Valparaiso was originally an Indian village. It became a Spanish colony in the 16th century and later became an important port connecting South America and Europe. In the middle of the 19th century, Valparaiso as a retreat port around the southern tip of the Americas, ushered in the golden age, known as the "Pearl of the Pacific." After the arrival of European immigrants, the urban style of Valparaiso has instantly become diverse and colorful. But with the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915, almost all of the ships on the west coast of the Americas to Europe were diverted to the canal almost overnight. The status of the world port of Valparaiso disappeared, and the prosperity of the past was no longer a moment. The merchants left, but the artists did not leave. Instead, they attracted many celebrities, writers, poets, painters and artists. They maintained their position as the cultural center of Valparaiso.
