Patio 29, Historical burial site in Recoleta, Santiago, Chile.

Patio 29 is a grassy burial plot in Santiago General Cemetery, between Avenida México to the north and Avenida O'Higgins to the east, Los Copihues to the south and Los Maitenes to the west. Rows of knee-high dark metal crosses on thin rods, many with small nameplates, stand in patchy grass beside low concrete borders and white stone edging. Flat grey stone steps descend into the plot in the foreground.

Patio 29 was originally a common grave for the indigent and unidentified. From September 1973 it was used to hide victims of the military dictatorship; in 1979 the Vicariate of Solidarity received reports of irregular burials, and in 1981 the military prosecutor banned exhumations. Exhumations began in 1991, and on 11 July 2006 it was declared a National Monument.

The name comes from the old plot numbering; after the cemetery's records were digitized from 1987, the site was renumbered into today's patios 162 and 157. Annual marches marking the 1973 coup end here, and in 2008 the National Monuments Council chose a project linking Víctor Jara's tomb to Patio 29 through a music plaza with seven copper columns.

Patio 29 lies between Avenida México to the north, Avenida O'Higgins to the east, Calle Los Copihues to the south and Calle Los Maitenes to the west, inside Santiago General Cemetery in Recoleta. After the cemetery's plots were renumbered from 1987, the old Patio 29 corresponds to today's patios 162 and 157. Grey stone steps in the lower left of the burial slope lead down toward the rows of crosses.

In 2008 the National Monuments Council chose a design by architect Cristián Boza that links Víctor Jara's tomb to Patio 29 with a music plaza and seven copper columns. The memorial is built of 3,032 precast concrete bricks. The graves themselves are marked by rows of small dark metal crosses on thin rods, many with a nameplate, set in patchy grass beside low concrete borders.
