Villa Grimaldi, Memorial park in Peñalolén, Chile

The Villa Grimaldi Peace Park contains memorial walls, gardens, fountains, and replicas of detention chambers across its three-acre grounds.

From 1974 to 1978, the Chilean secret police used this location as a detention center where approximately 4,500 political prisoners were interrogated.

The memorial includes a garden with roses planted for each woman who perished, and willows represent the sorrow of past events.

The site at Avenida José Arrieta 8401 provides guided tours that explain the historical context and significance of different areas within the grounds.

A model of the original estate stands where only foundations remain, showing visitors the complete layout of the former detention center.
