Plaza de Armas, Central square in Curicó, Chile.

The Plaza de Armas contains green areas with pathways, benches, and numerous Phoenix canariensis palm trees that provide shade throughout the square.

The square was established in 1743 by Governor José Antonio Manso de Velasco in response to requests from local residents of the area.

The plaza features marble sculptures by Chilean artists Virginio Arias, Simón González, and José Caroca, installed during the 1960s.

The square is surrounded by important buildings including the Municipal Office, Main Church, Union Club, and Fernando Lazcano Girls School.

A cast iron bandstand from 1905, designed in New Orleans style and manufactured in Santiago, stands elevated 2.5 meters above ground level.
