This site, originally constructed in 1807, is a must-see. Although it has been remodeled some, the original splendor is still very visible. At one time, when the Spaniards still ruled Chile, the Palacio was the site of the Supreme Court. Later, the first Chilean congressional session was held here following the country’s independence.

Today, the Palacio holds the National History Museum, with over 70,000 artifacts. The museum also has a comprehensive exhibit on the history of Chile.
