Landmarks & Monuments in Santiago

The seat of the President of the Republic of Chile, this neoclassical palace, built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and the presidential seat since 1846, stands as an architectural masterpiece. Visitors can explore the palace's stunning façade and surrounding Plaza de la Constitución. The building showcases impressive columns, grand staircases, and ornate interiors reflecting Chile's political heritage. Free guided tours available (advance booking required).

A 860-meter hill offering breathtaking views of Santiago, the Andes, and the Mapocho River valley. Accessible by funicular railway or cable car, this is one of Santiago's most visited attractions. At the summit stands a 22-meter tall statue of the Virgin Mary. Treat the park’s attractions and access as time-sensitive and check current operating information; the guide also incorrectly describes the funicular elsewhere as elevators. The panoramic vistas are spectacular and unobstructed.

Standing about 127 meters tall, this iconic tower designed by Argentinian architect Gustavo López Gavella offers panoramic views of Santiago and the surrounding Andes mountains. Built in 1974, it's one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Entel describes the tower as a telecommunications facility and offers a virtual tour. On clear days, you can see the snow-capped peaks of the Andes and the Chilean coastal range.
