Villa Grimaldi

Villa Grimaldi was a clandestine detention and torture center used during Chile’s military dictatorship from 1973 to 1990. Situated in Santiago, it was operated by security forces to imprison, interrogate, and brutalize political opponents, often without trial. Today, it serves as a memorial and site of remembrance, honoring victims of human rights violations and promoting awareness of past abuses. The site’s preservation helps ensure history remembers the atrocities committed there and emphasizes the importance of justice and human rights.
