National Library of Chile, National library and Historical Monument in Santiago, Chile
The National Library of Chile occupies a neoclassical building on Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, featuring marble staircases and decorated halls with murals.
Founded on August 19, 1813, during Chile's independence period, the library moved to its current location in 1925 after several relocations throughout Santiago.
The institution maintains over 3.5 million bibliographic items, including the first Chilean newspaper, Aurora de Chile, and collections from prominent national intellectuals.
The library provides access to reading rooms, a periodicals section, map collections, historical archives, and digital resources for research and study purposes.
The building shares its premises with the National Archive of Chile and stands next to Santa Lucía Hill, connecting directly to the Santa Lucía metro station.
