Reviewed By travelling140

This is a must see place in santiago, is the president office and use to be the place where they kept the coins. Every other day around 10 am they have the change of guards ceremony with a band. You can also go to the Centro Cultural Palacio la Moneda, right next to the palace undergournd and if you are lucky it has a very good exhibition, sometimes coming from the best museums of the world.
