Macul, Residential commune in Santiago province, Chile

Located in the central-eastern section of Greater Santiago, Macul spans 12.9 square kilometers and maintains an elevation of 572 meters above sea level.

The territory transitioned from an indigenous settlement to an independent municipality in 1984, following its separation from the Ñuñoa commune in 1981.

The name Macul originates from Quechua language, reflecting the deep indigenous connections of this region within the Santiago metropolitan area.

The commune contains multiple educational facilities, including the San Joaquín Campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and INACAP technical training center.

The Estadio Monumental David Arellano, home to the Colo-Colo football team, stands as the largest stadium in Chile with a capacity of 47,000 spectators.
