Museo Regional de Antofagasta
You will first notice the presence of the Museo Regional de Antofagasta, a public museum that has been a part of the city since it was founded in 1905. It is a place where you can explore the local area through the lens of a natural history museum. Because of its importance to the region, the site is designated as a heritage site. I have found that the building itself is quite a sight to see while you are walking the streets and looking for landmarks. For those interested in the official status of the city's architecture and history, this location is both a national monument of Chile and a Historical Monument of Chile. It is a great place to stop and appreciate the local heritage before you move on to your next destination.
