Londres 38

Londres 38 Londres 38 is an elegant nineteenth-century three-storey mansion in one of the most graceful areas of Santiago’s central business district (CBD). During the Allende years of the early 1970s, it was the headquarters of the Chilean Socialist Party. Possibly out of a sense of irony, more probably because it was a building that could be seized quickly to house and interrogate prisoners, the building was occupied by the Direccio´n de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA), Pinochet’s secret police, two months after the coup.
