Plaza a la Aviación, Santiago de Chile

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

Plaza a la Aviación is a public square in the Providencia district that spans a large open area centered around a major fountain. The fountain features multiple water jets and illuminates with electronic light displays during evening hours.

The square was laid out around 1929 as part of the Parque Providencia, designed by Austrian landscape architect Óscar Prager; it was later called Parque Prager after him. On 12 October 1944 a monument to Uruguayan writer José Enrique Rodó by sculptor Tótila Albert was inaugurated. The present name comes from the Fuerza Aérea de Chile monument by René Orellana and Beatriz Silva, unveiled on 20 March 1980 by commander-in-chief Fernando Matthei.

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

The square sits at the eastern end of Parque Balmaceda, right after the junction of Avenida Providencia and Avenida Eliodoro Yáñez, so it is reached on foot from either avenue. The steel aviation monument, 50 metres long, stands against one of the fountains; its shadow traces an aeroplane with wings spread, best seen with low sun.
