For history buffs!
By Carolina, 11/9/06
I love the colonial architecture of the building. I also liked the stories that were displayed, like the one about the arrival of the new Governor of Chile in the 1600's who upon his arrival to the country brought the wrath of the country's bishop upon himself because he visited the beautiful daughters of a prominent person before visiting the bishop as per protocol!
