    La Moneda is the Presidential Palace, something of a misnomer since the president doesn't live there at all... it is her office, however. It was here in 1973 that Salvador Allende took refuge when the Pinochet regime went all out to oust him. While holed up in the palace, the airforce bombed and strafed the palace attempting to force Allende out. Rather than surrender, Allende gave an impassioned speech to the citizens condemning Pinochet and his followers by radio then took his own life.

    You can enter the palace courtyard and, at least when we were there, see a display of contemporary sculpture by Chilean artists. This may be a rotating display... I'm not sure. There also is a changing of the guard every second day at 10:00 A.M.

    Sede do Governo chileno atualmente e palco de episódios negros na historia do Chile, como a morte de Salvador Allende, o Palácio La Moneda vale apena ser visitado por sua beleza e imponencia, tente também agendar uma visita a alguns dos saloes internos em www.presidencia.cl

    Es lo quartel general de lo gobierno de Chile acctualment y palco de algunos de los episódios mas negros de história de Chile como la morte de Salvador Allende, La Moneda tiene que ser visitada por su beleza y imponencia exteriores, trate tambien de ayendar una visita a los salones internos en www.presidencia.cl

    La Moneda is the HQ of the chilean governamment nowadays, and it was stage of one of the most dark episodes of chilean history, when Salvador Allende was kinf by CIA agents. The building itself is worth a visit, because it´s beutuisull and imponent on the outside, try also to get a guided visit trough some internal lobbys at www.presidencia.cl
