"Changing of the Guard at Chilean Government Palace The ornate, neoclassical government palace, headquarters for the President's offices, was originally constructed in the late 18th century as the country's mint. During the 1973 military coup, La Moneda was nearly destroyed. The ceremonious changing of the guard is held every odd-numbered day and always draws a large audience. Moneda, between Morandé and Teatinos (Metro La Moneda)"

Palacio de La Moneda is a majestic landmark in Santiago, Chile, serving as the presidential palace. Its neoclassical architecture and cultural significance make it a must-see. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, nearby museums, and the impressive changing of the guard ceremony.

The government seat of power, worth visiting. There is a cultural center right below the ground level, a pleasant surprise for tourists and locals alike.

This is a must visit in Santiago. It is the offices of the President of Chile. It is the site of the military coup in 1973. It’s the home of their democratic government today and in the past. They do a change of guard every two days at 10:00 AM. That is a very splendid event to watch. Go under the Moneda for some stunning art exhibitions, a snack, and clean bathrooms. The ceremony starts at the back of the Moneda and marches around to the front where most of the ceremony occurs. Get there a little early to get a good viewing spot. If you look closely you can still find where they repaired bullet holes on the palace. There several other spectacular government structures in the

Hoped to be able to tour the inside, but they had pretty tight security around the building and not allowing tourists to even go inside of the perimeter fence that was set up. Took a few pictures from the memorial plaza/park area adjacent to the palace. This building functions as a government/state building and houses many offices and meeting rooms for high ranking government officials in the Chilean government. A nice display and many flags and memorials to past leadership are also found on the ground and around the area. This is one of the key buildings you'll find on many of the Chilean souvenirs. It's a significant historical landmark.

Saw the changing of the guards today. It’s every second day, 10am and goes for 30mins. The crowd around the perimeter was only one deep, it would be harder to see anything if it was busier.

Super fun tourist spot, be sure to go on a morning when they change the guard!

A simple but very striking building housing government of Chile. You likely won't get inside unless you reserve a tour online through their website. That said, you can visit the grounds in front and behind the palace. Security will be everywhere and you'll probably be one of many visitors around. Go during the holidays to see the grand tree and lights.

Originally the royal mint, this sober neoclassical edifice designed by Joaquín Toesca in the 1780s and completed in 1805 became the presidential palace in 1846 and served that purpose for more than a century. It was bombarded by the military in the 1973 coup, when Salvador Allende defended his presidency against the assault of General Augusto Pinochet before committing suicide there. Tours can be arranged by e-mail with at least two days' notice. Located in Plaza de la Constitución, Moneda between Teatinos and Morandé).
