Chillogallo, Urban parish in south Quito, Ecuador.

Chillogallo extends across a cold-temperate climate zone with large mountains on its western edge, near the El Cinto sanctuary destination.

On May 22, 1822, the independence army led by Antonio Jose de Sucre stationed in Chillogallo before the Battle of Pichincha against Spanish forces.

The Santiago Apostol Church hosts the Festival of Santiago el Mayor each July, maintaining religious traditions central to the parish community.

The Civic Center, Museum, and Mariscal Sucre Library occupy a historic 1765 hacienda building, providing educational and cultural services to residents.

Until the mid-20th century, Chillogallo functioned as the primary agricultural center of Quito, earning the title 'granary of Quito'.
