El Casco Antiguo

For part of our Stanford orientation, we took a tour of El Casco Antiguo, the older, more historical section of Santiago. This section of the city was packed with important buildings related to religion, politics, and economics.

Stained Glass at the Ceiling of Los Tribunales de Justicia (Chilean Supreme Court Building)


Guards on Horseback in front of La Moneda (President´s Office Building)


La Intendencia de Santiago

Each region of Chile has an intendencia, or reginal government building that overseas more local matters.



A Statue of Salvador Allende, Former Communist President of Chile


The Chilean Stock Exchange (see the listings in the background)
