Plaza de Armas, Main square in Angol, Chile
Plaza de Armas features a central fountain with three basins, decorated with marble sculptures representing continents and surrounded by double rows of trees.
The square emerged from a simple pasture where travelers parked horses in 1869 to become an official plaza after Angol received city status in 1871.
The rectangular water mirror installed in 1944 displays four marble sculptures created by Chilean artist Virginio Arias, representing different continents of the world.
The square underwent renovations in 2006, adding new pavement, water systems, tourism office facilities, and public restrooms for visitors' convenience.
The plaza earned its designation as Historical Monument of Chile on August 4, 1986, securing protection for its architectural and cultural elements.
