Historical landmark
Londres 38
Londres 38, 8331009 Santiago, Región Metropolitana
Former clandestine detention site marked by victims' names set into the surrounding cobblestones.
This guide to Londres 38 in Santiago starts with the ninety-four brass name plates set into the cobblestones outside, and traces what happened inside after the 1973 coup, when the secret police force DINA seized this former Socialist Party headquarters and turned it into a clandestine prison. It follows roughly eleven hundred blindfolded prisoners brought through the door in 1974, and the pattern of black-and-white floor tiles some of them memorized in the dark. Look down as you step through the entrance to find the names among the stones.
