Of all the houses Neruda lived in during his life, the house as Isla Negra was rumored to be his favorite. This is the house he shared with wife Matilde Urruita, and the last home he lived in before he died in 1973. Neruda was fascinated with the sea, and was a collector of many sea-related items that were displayed at Isla Negra, including sea glass, ships figureheads and fisherman's nets. Pablo and Matilde are buried at the house at Isla Negra, and it is now a museum open to the public.
