Due to the seaside resort’s considerable antiquity and rich history, a vast number of attractions that recapture a colourful past can be found there.

One striking example of this are some ancient emblematic buildings that have stand along the resort for a long time and are still regarded as the most representative symbols of Atlantida.

It is worth mentioning The Casa del Aguila (Eagle’s House) and the Pablo Neruda museum as some of the most famous attractions.

This enigmatic construction built from stone with eagle’s head and dolphin’s body, has long been the subject of legend.

The place’s original name used to be “La Quimera”. Moreover, the house used to be elaborately decorated with a variety of animal and marine species figures.

It was after the owner’s untimely death that legends began to be told. Even a film that dealt with the house’s mysterious powers was made.

This house is located on the beach very close to a place named Villa Argentina.

Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste was in charge of building Nuestra Señora de Lourdes Church.

Not only is this colossal church a unique building in Latin America but also its undulated walls that hold the dome without columns turn it into a highly creative work.

This church is one of the city’s most typical symbols. An exact replica of it has been built in Madrid.

What is more, such church has been declared to be a National Monument and is part of America’s Heritage. Finally, it is located by Route 11.

As time went by, studious people, poetry lovers and reporters have grown extremely fond of Neruda’s tour.

One of this place’s most striking features is the vast number of documents and photographs that can be seen there.

Having lunch, dinner or drinking tea while watching the sun set is a must for tourists once the tour is over.

It is located in the place where Street 10 and Rambla Mansa (Mansa promenade) intersect.
