Villa Grimaldi is a large property on the foothills of the Andes in the commune of Peñalolén, in Santiago de Chile. This place was one of the largest detention and torture centers during the military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. It has been transformed into the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Museum thanks to the work of the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation and the support of social organizations, neighbors, human rights organizations and relatives of detained and disappeared persons.

4La Moneda
During the 1973 coup d'état, the building inhabited by Allende and some of his supporters was bombed by Chilean Army cannons and Sura 3 rockets from two British-made Hawker Hunter aircraft of the Chilean Air Force, leaving it partially destroyed. The north façade, as well as the pavilion between the Los Cañones and Los Naranjos courtyards, were the areas most affected by the rockets and the fire that spread from the corner of Moneda and Teatinos streets to about 25 meters south, near Plaza de la Libertad (today, Plaza de la Ciudadanía). This attack also meant the loss of priceless treasures accumulated over years of government. Among the lost items were the aforementioned 1818 Declaration of Independence, the original O'Higgins pickaxe, and the famous portrait of Bernardo O'Higgins by José Gil de Castro.
