La Calera, Industrial city in Quillota Province, Chile
La Calera extends across 60.5 square kilometers in the Aconcagua River Valley, situated 66 kilometers northeast of Valparaíso and 118 kilometers from Santiago.
The settlement originated as Jesuit property in 1628 and remained under their control until 1767, when King Charles III of Spain ordered their expulsion.
The population reflects a mixture of Spanish descendants and mestizos, with Palestinian and Italian immigrant communities adding to the local cultural diversity.
The municipality functions as a commercial center with facilities including Open Plaza mall, supermarket chains, pharmacies, and various retail establishments.
The city name stems from limestone production, as local hills provided materials for quicklime manufacturing, establishing the area's industrial foundation.
