Plaza Las Lilas, Public square in Providencia, Chile
Plaza Las Lilas is a public square in Providencia featuring fountains, grass areas, and pathways bordered by residential buildings and neighborhood shops. The space connects different areas of the district through its various routes and open layout.
The plaza developed during the 1930s as part of Providencia's major urban renewal program that created new infrastructure and public spaces. This development transformed the neighborhood into a modern residential area with planned infrastructure.
The plaza serves as a neighborhood gathering space where residents naturally spend time outdoors, relax on benches, and meet with neighbors. Local events and informal activities happen here throughout the year, making it an important part of daily life in the area.
The plaza is freely accessible and offers free WiFi throughout the space for visitors with mobile devices. The nearest metro station at Cristobal Colon is within walking distance, and multiple bus routes serve the surrounding streets.
The plaza's design breaks from traditional Spanish city planning with curved streets and diagonal pathways that create an unusual layout. This reflected the modern planning principles that architect Karl Brüner brought to the neighborhood's development.
