San Miguel

San Miguel is an urban commune located in the southern section of Santiago Metropolitan Region. The area combines residential neighborhoods with commercial zones, structured around major thoroughfares like Gran Avenida.

The commune was created by decree in 1896 under Admiral Jorge Montt's administration, breaking away from the Ñuñoa sub-delegations. This administrative separation established it as an independent municipal entity.

The Parque del Cómic along Llano Subercaseaux street displays monuments dedicated to Chilean comic history and characters. Walking through this space, you experience how the community has chosen to celebrate local artistic traditions.

The area is served by seven metro stations that connect through perpendicular avenues, making it easy to navigate different parts of the commune. The municipal offices at Gran Avenida 3418 provide information and services for those seeking administrative assistance.

The area was historically a hub for rail connections before metro development transformed the transport infrastructure. This railway heritage left marks on the urban layout that attentive visitors can still notice today.
