Palacio de Pioneros

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:38:40

This eclectic mansion (built between 1906 and 1910) was once the largest and most opulent in Santiago. Since 1974 it has been a developmental center for kids (pioneros) . In the garden is an old MiG fighter plane on which the younger pioneers play. The traffic circle at the corner of Av Manduley and Calle 13 contains an impressive marble statue of poet José María Heredia y Heredia.
