Palacio de la Real Audiencia de Santiago, Historic palace in Plaza de Armas, Santiago, Chile
The neoclassical building features symmetrical arches, columns, and a central tower that rises above the northern side of Plaza de Armas.
Between 1804 and 1808, architect Juan José de Goycolea constructed this palace to house the Royal Court of Justice during Spanish colonial rule.
