Monumento a Salvador Allende, Santiago de Chile, Bronze monument in Plaza de la Constitución, Santiago, Chile

The Monumento a Salvador Allende is a bronze sculpture on the Plaza de la Constitución in Santiago, Chile, inaugurated in 2000. Sculpted by Arturo Hevia, the figure of Allende is about 3 metres tall and is wrapped up to the hip in the Chilean flag. It stands on a stone pedestal of the same height, with a descriptive plaque, bringing the whole work to 6.5 metres.

The monument was inaugurated in 2000 to mark Allende's presidency from 1970 until the military coup of 1973. Its creation was part of a broader national conversation about how to remember that period.

The sculpture stands on Plaza de la Constitución, directly across from the La Moneda government palace, where Allende died in 1973. Many visitors stop there to take photographs or leave flowers at the base.

The monument stands in the center of Santiago and is easy to reach on foot from most of the downtown area. The plaza is open throughout the day, and several metro stations are a short walk away.

To place the statue at the northwest corner of Morandé and Moneda, one of the four lighthouse-port structures decorating the corners of the Plaza de la Constitución had to be demolished. The work by Arturo Hevia won a public competition held after the 1994 law, and the project cost 120,000 USD, financed by the Salvador Allende Foundation and the Municipality of Santiago.
