Plaza a la Aviación, Santiago de Chile, Public square in Providencia district, Santiago, Chile

Plaza a la Aviación extends from Parque Balmaceda, featuring a central fountain with 119 water spouts and electronic light displays at its core.

The plaza originated in 1929 as part of the Japanese Park, designed by Austrian landscape architect Oscar Prager, before receiving its current name in 1980.

The square displays a monument dedicated to Uruguayan writer José Enrique Rodó, created by sculptor Tótila Albert and inaugurated in 1944.

The Bicentennial Fountain presents water and light shows three times daily: from 10 AM to noon, 3 PM to 4 PM, and 6 PM to 9 PM.

The 16,400-square-meter plaza contains a monument honoring the Chilean Air Force, created by artists René Orellana and Beatriz Silva.
