Plaza Victoria, Central square in Valparaíso, Chile.

Plaza Victoria is a square in the El Almendral sector of Valparaíso, facing Plaza Simón Bolívar. At its center stands a three-tiered cast-iron fountain bought in 1868 from the Du Vall D'Osne foundry in Paris, with a rough rock base, bronze figures seated around it, shallow circular basins and a small dome-shaped canopy on sculpted supports. Four white statues representing Agriculture, the Navy, Industry and Commerce stand on its four sides.

The square developed into a central gathering point during the 19th century as Valparaíso grew into a major Pacific port. Maritime trade expansion made this location essential to the city's identity and commerce.

The square serves as a gathering place where street musicians and performers display their work daily. Visitors can experience the city's living artistic expression firsthand in this central location.

The square is easily accessible by trolleybus and bus, with multiple lines stopping here. Cafes, restaurants, and shops line the perimeter, making it convenient for food and shopping needs.

The cast-iron fountain was bought in 1868 from the Du Vall D'Osne foundry in Paris, funded by neighbourhood residents and ordered by intendant José Ramón Lira Calvo. Four white statues made by the same foundry, representing Agriculture, the Navy, Industry and Commerce, were placed on the square's four sides.
