Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, lies in a valley between the snow-covered Andean peaks and the Chilean Coastal Range. On the Plaza de Armas, the magnificent centrepiece of the old colonial city, you will find two Neoclassical landmarks of Santiago: the Palacio de la Real Audiencia dating from 1808, today home to the National Museum of History, and the 18th century Catedral Metropolitana. La Chascona, now a museum, is the former home of the poet Pablo Neruda. Santiago de Chile is a modern city full of history, as you will quickly discover on your first walk around its famous monuments and squares.
