Plaza Egaña, Central plaza in Ñuñoa, Chile.
Plaza Egaña is a central plaza in Ñuñoa located at the intersection of Irarrázaval Avenue and Américo Vespucio Avenue, forming a major commercial and residential hub in eastern Santiago. The space is defined by Mall Plaza Egaña on its northeastern corner and the emerging Eco Egaña project with four residential towers on its southwestern side.
The plaza took its name from Mariano Egaña, a political figure who played a key role in drafting Chile's 1833 Constitution. This naming reflects the early importance of the location in Santiago's development.
The plaza grew from its origins as Los Guindos Square into a meeting point for residents of Ñuñoa and La Reina. Today, people use it as a hub connecting different parts of the city, where daily routines and commerce come together naturally.
Metro Line 4 stops at Plaza Egaña, connecting the area directly with Puente Alto and Providencia, while numerous bus routes serve the surrounding neighborhoods. The plaza is easily accessible and functions as a key transit hub for daily movement around the city.
The plaza hosts a major retail development with Mall Plaza Egaña, combining shopping and leisure activities in a single location. Additionally, the Eco Egaña project with its four residential towers marks a contemporary reshaping of the southwestern corner and signals the transformation of this historic site.
