History
The neighborhood development began with adjacent lots along Irarrázaval Avenue. The large palm trees on the southern side of the avenue make the plaza visually appealing. When the trolleys started passing through and small shops began to appear, activity intensified in the sector. Plaza Ñuñoa became important at the end of the 1960s, with increased urbanification of the side of the city nearer to the mountains.[4][5] In carrying out a study about social psychology, memory, and spatiality in Santiago, Chile scholars focused on Plaza Ñuñoa.[6]
In the 1980s Plaza Ñuñoa became the beer drinking destination of intellectuals and students who frequented bar Las Lanzas, a place that began to be identified as cultural and leftist.[7] There is also a bar and nightclub called La Batuta that provided a location for the burgeoning rock scene in Chile beginning in 1989.[8][9][10][11]
Established at Plaza Ñuñoa in the 1970s, Teatro Universidad Católica, formerly called Teatro Dante, is a theatre on Jorge Washington street that attracts world-class productions.[12]
