The Palacio de La Moneda is the presidential palace of Chile, located in the capital city, Santiago. Built between 1784 and 1805, it originally served as the mint, hence its name, which translates to "The Mint Palace." The building features neoclassical architecture and is an important symbol of Chilean history and governance. In 1973, the palace was the site of a military coup that led to the overthrow of President Salvador Allende. Today, it houses the offices of the President of Chile and serves as a venue for official ceremonies and events, reflecting the country's political heritage.
