Plaza de Armas, Central square in Coquimbo, Chile.
The Plaza de Armas of Coquimbo spans half a block between Aldunate, Las Heras, Melgarejo, and Borgono streets, featuring green spaces and walking paths.
The land for Plaza de Armas was acquired in 1846 through a donation from the Buenaventura Argandona heirs, with initial tree planting beginning in 1868.
The plaza contains monuments dedicated to Chilean poets Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda, representing the literary heritage of the region.
The square is surrounded by essential public services, including the Municipal Building of Coquimbo, Chilean Red Cross, and Civil Registry offices.
In 1887, the plaza became the first location in Coquimbo to receive electric lampposts, marking a significant advancement in urban development.
