Constitution Square

This guide to Constitution Square in Santiago stands before La Moneda palace and counts the ten constitutions Chile has written since 1811, more than almost any nation on earth. It follows two attempts since 2022 to write an eleventh, the votes that decided their fate, and the square's ties to statesman Diego Portales and to Salvador Allende's death here in 1973. Look toward Allende's statue across the square as you listen.
