Santiago : The Historic Part










The Cathedral




The City Hall

As I wrote in my last blog, I was fascinnated by the modern buildings of Santiago,.  Yet, I am fascinated by  the historic parts of a city and love the architecture and the culture it exudes.  Here in the old city of Santiago, the main cathedral looms large over the huge Plaza it shares with other historic buildings. . The Plaza also contains the classic main post ofice, a museum and the old city hall.





While on the Plaza, I saw two groups trying to save people from becoming lost.

This first group,  sponsored by the city, had three mobile information stands that went up and down the Plaza to give directions and answer questions.





The second group,  not sponsored by the city, also focused on helping people find their way and avoid becoming lost.






Yes, it was easy to find your way on the Plaza
