Pérgola de las Flores, Flower market building near Mapocho River, Santiago, Chile
The Pérgola de las Flores consists of two connected market buildings dedicated to selling fresh flowers and floral arrangements near Vega Central.
Originally established in front of San Francisco Church in the early 1900s, the market relocated to its current location by the Mapocho River in 1948.
The flower market inspired a successful theater play by Isidora Aguirre in 1960, which became a fundamental part of Chilean performing arts.
The current facility contains 49 individual stores offering fresh flowers daily, with vendors operating from early morning until late afternoon.
Flower vendors maintain the tradition of throwing colored petals on funeral processions of public figures passing near the market.
