Cerro Primo de Rivera, Historical monument on hill in Maipú, Chile
The isolated hill in Maipú includes a 19-meter steel cross at its summit, with native vegetation such as Acacia caven and Cryptocarya alba.
Colonel Joaquín Primo de Rivera used this location as a command post for the royalist army during the Battle of Maipú in 1818.
The hill hosts municipal celebrations during Fiestas Patrias and religious ceremonies, including the traditional Misa de Gallo every Christmas Eve.
The site features public restrooms, a pedestrian walkway, and a plaza, with recent renovations completed through a 167 million peso investment.
The cross at the summit, created by sculptor Arturo Hevia, faces toward the Templo Votivo de Maipú and contains a carved figure of Jesus.
