==Culture== {{more citations needed|section|date=February 2019}} Only a few historical buildings from the Spanish colonial period remain in the city, because – like the rest of the country – Santiago is regularly hit by earthquakes. Extant buildings include the [[Casa Colorada]] (1769), the [[San Francisco Church, Santiago de Chile|San Francisco Church]] (1586), and [[Posada del Corregidor]] (1750). The cathedral on the central square ([[Plaza de Armas (Santiago)|Plaza de Armas]]) is a sight that ranks as high as the Palacio de La Moneda, the Presidential Palace. The original building was built between 1784 and 1805, and architect Joaquín Toesca was in charge of its construction. Other buildings surrounding the Plaza de Armas are the [[Central Post Office Building (Santiago)|Central Post Office Building]], which was finished in 1882, and the [[Palacio de la Real Audiencia de Santiago]], built between 1804 and 1807. It houses the [[Chilean National History Museum]], with 12,000 objects that can be exhibited. On the southeast corner of the square stands the green cast-iron Commercial Edwards building, which was built in 1893. East of that is the colonial building of the [[Casa Colorada]] (1769), which houses the Museum of Santiago. Close by is the [[Municipal Theater of Santiago]], which was built in 1857 by the French architect Brunet of Edward Baines. It was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1906. Not far from the theater is the Subercaseaux Mansion and the [[Biblioteca Nacional de Chile|National Library]], one of the largest libraries of South America. The [[Former National Congress Building]], the [[Palacio de los Tribunales de Justicia de Santiago|Justice Palace]], and the Royal Customs Palace (''Palacio de la Real Aduana de Santiago'') are located close to each other. The latter houses the [[Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino|Museum of pre-Columbian art]]. A fire destroyed the building of the Congress in 1895, which was then rebuilt in a neoclassical style and reopened in 1901. The Congress was deposed under the military dictatorship (1973–89) of [[Augusto Pinochet]], and after the dictatorship was newly constituted on 11 March 1990, in Valparaíso. The building of the Justice Palace (Palacio de Tribunales) is located on the south side of the Montt Square. It was designed by the architect Emilio Doyére and built between 1907 and 1926. The building is home to the [[Supreme Court of Chile]]. The panel of 21 judges is the highest judicial power in Chile. The building is also the headquarters of the Court of Appeals of Santiago. Bandera street leads toward the building of the [[Santiago Stock Exchange]] (the ''Bolsa de Comercio''), completed in 1917, the [[Club de la Unión (Chile)|Club de la Unión]] (opened in 1925), the Universidad de Chile (1872), and toward the oldest churchhouse in the city, the San Francisco Church (constructed between 1586 and 1628), with its Marian statue of the ''Virgen del Socorro'' ("Our Lady of Help"), which was brought to Chile by Pedro de Valdivia. North of the ''Plaza de Armas'' ("Square of Arms", where the colonial militia was mustered) are the [[Paseo Puente]], the [[Santo Domingo Church, Santiago de Chile|Santo Domingo Church]] (1771), and the [[Mercado Central de Santiago|Central Market]] (Mercado Central), an ornamental iron building. Also in downtown Santiago is the [[Torre Entel]], a 127.4-meter-high television tower with observation deck completed in 1974; the tower serves as a communication center for the communications company, ENTEL Chile. The Costanera Center was completed in 2009, and includes housing, shopping, and entertainment venues. The project, with a total area of 600,000 square meters, includes the 300-meter high [[Gran Torre Santiago]] (South America's tallest building) and other commercial buildings. The four office towers are served by highway and subway connections.<ref>Emporis: {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20070930133548/http://www.emporis.com/ge/wm/bu/?id=grantorrecostanera-santiago-chile Gran Torre Costanera]}}</ref> <gallery class="center" caption="" widths="160" heights="125px"> File:Teatro Municipal, Santiago 20230521 01.jpg|[[Municipal Theater of Santiago]] File:Palacio de La Moneda.png|[[Palacio de La Moneda]] File:Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Santiago2.jpg|[[Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Santiago, Chile)|Contemporary Art Museum of Santiago]] File:Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.jpg| The [[Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts|National Museum of Fine Arts]], located next to [[Parque Forestal]].
