Palacio de la Real Aduana de Santiago, Colonial building in Plaza de Armas district, Santiago, Chile.
The Palacio de la Real Aduana stands on Bandera Street, featuring white walls, stone columns, and a central courtyard with traditional Spanish colonial architecture.
The palace, built between 1805 and 1807 under architect Joaquín Toesca, initially housed customs operations and administrative functions for the Spanish colonial government.
The structure now contains the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, displaying extensive collections of indigenous artifacts from across the Americas.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages and special exhibitions throughout the year.
The building survived a substantial fire in 1970, leading to its nickname 'Old Courts' before its transformation into a cultural institution.
