The statues of the Presidents of the Republic, Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez, Eduardo Frei Montalva and Salvador Allende Gossens, are placed there as prominent protagonists of the history of Chile.

It is the seat of the Executive Power and one of the most representative symbols of the political history of the country.

Designed by the architect Joaquín Toesca, this palace is the main work of neoclassicism in Chile.
