Plaza Perú, Public square in University District, Concepción, Chile
Plaza Perú features a central fountain surrounded by Parisian-influenced buildings with sunny balconies and interior terraces at the heart of Concepción.
The square was constructed in 1942 by architects Ovalle and Sarabia following the 1939 earthquake, funded by the Pacific Steel Company.
The plaza serves as a connection point between the University of Concepción campus and downtown, hosting regular exhibitions and book fairs.
The square contains numerous restaurants and entertainment venues under covered walkways that protect visitors from rain and sun.
European engineers and technicians who arrived to work at the Pacific Steel Company resided in the buildings surrounding the plaza during the 1940s.
