Cross the plaza to the corner of Compañía-Merced and Paseo Estado to the Casa Colorada, a museum and tourist office. La Casa Colorada is one of the few remaining colonial buildings in Santiago. It houses the Museum of Santiago detailing Santiago's history, including a number of dioramas representing key moments in the city and country's history. Some of these dioramas are displayed in the Casa Colorada Photo Gallery.
