Santa Juana, Administrative commune in Concepción Province, Chile

Santa Juana extends across 731 square kilometers in the Biobío Region, positioned 39 kilometers from Concepción at an elevation of 50 meters.

The settlement began as Fort Santa Juana de Guadalcázar in March 1626, established by Governor Luis Fernández de Córdoba y Arce in the Catirai Valley.

The municipality celebrates regional traditions through annual events including the Shrimp Festival, Honey Festival, and Santa Juana Week festivities.

The municipal administration operates from Yungay Street 125, providing public services and community support for over 12,700 residents.

The 2023 forest fires severely affected the area, consuming 60,000 hectares and destroying 300 houses across the commune territory.
