Memorial Población La Legua, Human rights memorial in San Joaquín, Chile.

The memorial consists of two concrete anthropomorphic figures over five meters tall, with mosaic tiles and commemorative plaques installed in Plaza Salvador Allende.

The site commemorates 76 victims from La Legua neighborhood who faced military forces during the September 11, 1973 military uprising in Chile.

The memorial design includes a central figure representing united people and an individual figure with an emptiness symbolizing absence through concrete structures.

The monument stands at the intersection of Alcalde Pedro Alarcón, Los Copihues, Pasaje Antártica, and Comandante Riesle streets in San Joaquín district.

The construction involved local community participation and took three years to complete, following the installation of the first commemorative stone in 1990.
