Summary

Urban murals in Valparaíso, Chile, serve as dynamic cultural artifacts that encapsulate the symbolic and social meanings of the city's port district. This interdisciplinary study employs etno-semiótica (ethnosemiotics) and architectural analysis to decode how these murals reflect and reinterpret urban space, revealing layers of historical, social, and aesthetic significance. By integrating visual observation with cultural interpretation, researchers uncover the ways in which residents and visitors engage with Valparaíso's painted landscapes, offering new insights into the city's identity as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
