    La Moneda
    La Moneda is the seat of the president of Chile. It also houses the offices of three cabinet ministers. It occupies most of a large block in the Civic District of downtown Santiago. It looks much like other parliamentary buildings around the world, but well worth seeing. La Monda, is of neoclassical design by an Italian architect and was originally built as a Mint . In 1973, during the military coup, the building was bombed by the Chilean air force. The building was rebuilt some years later although some bullet marks remain and have been preserved. Well worth a visit.

    Try to come for the changing of the guard ceremony
    La Moneda Palace is the home of the country’s president. You should visit for the changing of the guard ceremony. The spectacle is carried out with all the pomp that one would expect of such an event – but with the surreal bonus of a brass band accompaniment of well-known pop songs that you might not expect. The palace is full of history. In 1973 the palace was bombarded by Pinochet’s military forces in a coup d’état against then president Salvador Allende. Visitors are allowed to freely wander through the inner courtyards, as well as reserve a free tour through the palace
