Ex Congreso Nacional
- Address: Bandera 345, at Morandé, Santiago Centro, Santiago
- Category: Architectural Sites
- Location: Santiago Centro
Fodor's Review:
Once the meeting place for the National Congress (the legislature moved to Valparaíso in 1990), this palatial neoclassical building now houses the offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The original structure on the site, the Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, was destroyed by a fire in 1863 in which 2,000 people perished. Inside the peaceful gated gardens is a monument commemorating the victims.
