The city of Santiago was founded by Pedro de Valdivia at the foot of a hill and hosts numerous cultural events.
Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the inhabitants of the area called it Huelén, which means "cursed" in the Mapuche language. In 1541, Pedro de Valdivia founded the city of Santiago at the foot of this hill, which he named Santa Lucía. In 1872, the intendant Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna converted the hill into a public promenade so that the people of Santiago could wander along its paths. An elevator leads to the top of the hill, which is crowned by a small square. This very pleasant place to stroll around is also the scene of many cultural events.
