Located in the oldest square in Santiago, the Plaza de Armas is surrounded by historic buildings such as the Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral, the Central Post Office building, the Chilean National History Museum, and local government buildings. In the past, it was used as a trade market and a place for executions. However, after a big fire in 1891, the surrounding buildings were rebuilt and the square was turned into a garden, becoming a cultural hub. Today, the Plaza de Armas is a center of tourism in Santiago, attracting many visitors who come to admire its different beautiful views in the morning and at night.
