Maipú, Urban commune in Santiago Province, Chile
Maipú is a commune in Santiago Province, Chile, covering flat and urban terrain in the southwestern part of the metropolitan region. The commune borders several other urban areas and forms an important part of the larger metropolitan landscape.
The Battle of Maipú on April 5, 1818, decided the Chilean War of Independence when republican forces defeated royalist troops. This victory secured Chile's final liberation from Spanish rule and marked a turning point in South American history.
The Votive Temple, dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, stands as a national sanctuary where Pope Francis conducted a celebration in 2018.
Five stations on Metro Line 5 connect the commune to central Santiago and provide easy access to different neighborhoods. The Red bus network complements the metro system and offers additional connections within the commune and to neighboring areas.
The Votive Temple honoring Our Lady of Mount Carmel draws pilgrims from across Chile and serves as a national pilgrimage site. Pope Francis celebrated Mass there in 2018 during his visit to the country.
