Located between what is now Alameda Bernardo O'Higgins
This neighborhood is located next to the Alameda (the main avenue of Santiago) and is characterized by its narrow paving blocks streets, its irrigation ditches and street-lamps, honoring its name for its European style. It has a privileged location, in a quiet environment away from downtown vehicle traffic. At night, the warm yellow illumination from the streetlamps creates a special and magical atmosphere.
In 1554 the governor of Santiago Rodrigo de Quiroga donated 12 lots to the Franciscan order, where a church and a convent were built. In 1921, Ernesto Holtzman and Roberto Araya carried out the urban layout, breaking with the grid style characteristic of the downtown and forming these streets that lead to a small square in the center. It was declared a Typical Zone in 1982.
