Cerro Primo de Rivera, Historical monument on hill in Maipú, Chile

Cerro Primo de Rivera is a freestanding hill in Maipú, Chile, topped by a steel cross with a carved figure of Jesus at its summit. A pedestrian walkway runs from the base to a central plaza, from which the top of the hill can be reached on foot.

The hill, then known as cerrillo Redondo, served as the command post of Spanish royalist Colonel Joaquín Primo de Rivera during the Battle of Maipú on 5 April 1818, which decided Chile's independence. It was inaugurated as a park on 5 April 1984 under Mayor Gonzalo Pérez Llona and declared a National Monument in the Historical Monument category by Supreme Decree No. 66 of 22 February 1991. It was remodeled between 1996 and 1997.

Every Christmas Eve, a Misa de Gallo is held at the summit, drawing families from across the area for a nighttime gathering around the cross. During Fiestas Patrias, the municipality also uses this space for civic celebrations that bring together the local community.

The hill is accessible via a pedestrian walkway that suits a range of mobility levels, making it easy to reach the central plaza and continue toward the top. Public restrooms and seating areas are available on site, so there is no need to rush the visit.

The 19-metre, 24-tonne steel cross was unveiled on 9 September 2000 under mayor Herman Silva; sculptor Arturo Hevia cut the figure of Jesus into the metal. One face was turned toward the Templo Votivo de Maipú. The hill was long known as cerro Los Pajaritos or Cerro 15, after the old Paradero 15 on Avenida Pajaritos.
