The Historic Center of Santiago City - Walking Tour

The historic center of Santiago has its own life, it is diverse and combines multiple cultures, eras, and traditions.

Walking through its busy streets and pedestrian walkways, it is worth looking up and contemplating the diversity of eras and architectural styles that its buildings hide. It is the urban nucleus of the capital and its streets combine culture, tourism, and the daily life of those who pass through it.

Its buildings and monuments have witnessed important events in the colonial and republican history of the country. Since the foundation of Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, on February 12, 1541, the Plaza de Armas was the social, religious, political, and military nucleus of the incipient Santiago community.
