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.

Between 1920 and 1930, the Los Leones sector (the old Lo Bravo farm) was subdivided and eastern Providencia was landscaped as a garden city. In 1932 a communal development plan was drawn up, and the Municipality of Providencia then carried out urbanization, paving, lighting and the construction of public squares such as Las Lilas and Pedro de Valdivia, consolidating the area's role from 1940.

The square takes its name from the former Cine Las Lilas, a landmark of the neighbourhood. Today it hosts cultural and recreational encounters and neighbourhood interaction, and its small-scale shops contrast with the large commercial chains found elsewhere in Santiago.

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 curved and diagonal street layout around the plaza came from the influence of immigrant architects such as Karl Brüner, who worked in Providencia in the 1930s and 1940s; Diagonal Oriente, Tobalaba and Diego de Almagro follow these non-Hispanic lines. The plaza sits three blocks from the Cristóbal Colón metro station and is one of the few points in Santiago with free WiFi access.
