Famous Landmarks
Plaza de Armas
-33.4489°N, 70.6693°W
Santiago's Plaza de Armas has been the founding heart of the Chilean capital since 1541, when Pedro de Valdivia laid out the city's plans there. Surrounded by the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National History Museum, and the Central Post Office, this square remains the nerve centre of Santiago life, with its chess players, street artists, and palm trees.
Cerro San Cristóbal
-33.4489°N, 70.6693°W
Cerro San Cristóbal, the highest point of Santiago's Metropolitan Park at 880 metres, offers the most spectacular panorama of the city. Reachable by funicular or cable car, its summit crowned by a 22-metre statue of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception provides 360-degree views encompassing the entire city and the Andes with peaks exceeding 6,000 metres.
La Moneda Palace
-33.4489°N, 70.6693°W
La Moneda Palace, seat of Chile's presidency, is a neoclassical masterpiece built between 1784 and 1805 by Italian architect Joaquín Toesca. Originally designed as a mint, this historically charged building is associated with the 1973 coup d'état. Now restored, it houses the La Moneda Cultural Centre, and its central courtyard is open to the public.
Why gift a star map of Santiago?
Gifting a star map of Santiago means capturing the southern stars shining above the Andes, in the country home to the world's finest astronomical observatories. Whether for a wedding with snow-capped peaks in view or an anniversary atop Cerro San Cristóbal, this map immortalises a unique moment beneath one of the clearest skies on Earth. A gift as majestic as the meeting of the Andes and the Pacific.
The sky of Santiago
Sitting at 33° south latitude, Santiago is the gateway to the world's finest skies. Chile hosts over 50% of the world's astronomical observation capacity thanks to the Atacama Desert, the driest and clearest place on Earth. From Santiago, the Southern Cross, Alpha Centauri, and the Magellanic Clouds dominate the southern sky. Southern winter nights from June to August reveal a spectacular firmament above the Andes.
