Coronel, Port city in Biobío Region, Chile
The city extends along the Gulf of Arauco of the Pacific Ocean, featuring a sandy platform bordered by mountains and dense pine forests.
The naval Battle of Coronel in 1914 marked a significant military confrontation where German cruisers defeated British forces near the port.
The Mapuche population inhabited the territory before Spanish colonization, establishing deep connections with the land known as Araucanía.
The municipal infrastructure includes port facilities, foundries, retail centers, and planned residential areas supporting a population of over 116,000 residents.
The region contains modernized coal mines that established Coronel as Chile's primary coaling station, contributing substantially to national coal production.
