Memorial a Jaime Guzmán, Political memorial in Las Condes, Chile
Memorial a Jaime Guzmán is a memorial in Santiago featuring 66 life-sized bronze figures arranged in a row along a marble pathway. These sculptures form a line spanning approximately 22 meters and are surrounded by water that frames the entire composition.
The site opened in 2008 to honor a figure who played a key role in drafting Chile's 1980 Constitution. That constitution shaped the country's political and legal framework for decades.
The memorial is named after a constitutional lawyer who shaped Chilean politics, and its exhibition spaces display personal belongings and photographs from different periods of his life. Visitors can trace the story of someone who influenced the nation's political direction.
The site sits at Avenida Vitacura 2950 at a major intersection in Santiago where several avenues meet. The grounds are accessible on foot and offer enough space to walk around and explore the exhibitions at your own pace.
The 66 bronze figures represent anonymous people walking together in a fraternal embrace, without individual faces shown in detail. This design choice expresses unity and community rather than highlighting individual persons.
