Concepción, Port city in Bio Bio Region, Chile
Concepción extends along the northern bank of the Bio Bio River, connecting the industrial center with universities, plazas, and coastal districts of Chile.
Pedro de Valdivia established the settlement in 1550 as Concepción de María Purísima del Nuevo Extremo, making it a temporary capital of colonial Chile.
The University of Concepción leads the academic landscape with its art museum displaying the extensive mural 'La Presencia de América Latina' by Mexican artists.
The Carriel Sur International Airport provides direct connections to Santiago while the Biotrén railway system links suburban areas to the city center.
