Bandera Bicentenario, National flagpole at Plaza de la Ciudadanía, Santiago, Chile

The Bicentennial Flag measures 27 meters in length and 18 meters in width, mounted on a 61-meter galvanized steel flagpole in central Santiago.

The flag was first raised on September 17, 2010, marking the 200th anniversary of Chilean independence with the presence of former presidents and national leaders.

The first Sunday of each month, the Chilean National Anthem plays during a flag-raising ceremony performed by the Mounted Instrumental Band of the Cavalry Regiment.

The monument stands near Line 1 of the Santiago Metro system, with the flagpole structure extending 18 meters into the ground for proper support.

Children from different regions of Chile participated in the initial raising of this nylon flag, which was manufactured in the United States.
