Palacio de La Moneda, also known as the Presidential Palace, is located in the city center of Santiago, Chile. It is the seat of the President of the Republic and the offices of three cabinet ministers: General Secretariat of the Presidency, General Secretariat of Government, and General Secretariat of Finance.

The palace was built in the 18th century to house the Royal Mint, the country's currency manufacturing center, hence its name "La Moneda." After Chile became an independent republic in the 19th century, it served as the presidential residence and administrative center.

On September 11, 1973, a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet bombed the palace, which was then occupied by President Salvador Allende. Pinochet's forces then took control of the palace and Allende committed suicide inside. The event marked the beginning of Pinochet's dictatorship, which lasted until 1990.

The palace was restored and reopened in 1981, and today it houses several important cultural spaces, such as the Centro Cultural Palacio de La Moneda, which features exhibitions, screenings, and cultural activities. Visitors can also take guided tours of the palace, which include the historic public rooms, the presidential ceremonial hall, and the presidential office.
