Plaza de Armas

Introduction

Plaza de Armas (Plaza de Armas): Located in the heart of Santiago, the plaza features a church that houses a painting of “The Last Supper” and a 17th-century silver lamp weighing 50 pounds.

Since the establishment of Santiago, Plaza de Armas has gradually evolved into the center of administration, business, and social life, and to this day remains the hub of city life. No other place is as vibrant as this one—during the day, it’s always crowded with street performers and local artists. In the evening, people set up tables under the trees to play chess, often drawing crowds of passersby who can’t help but stop and watch. Such a cultural hub simply can’t be missed by visitors exploring the city.
