The Pichilemu City Council (Spanish: Concejo Municipal de Pichilemu) is the legislative body of the City of Pichilemu. The council meets in Pichilemu City Hall.

City Council[]

The City Council consists of seven members, including the Mayor.[1] City council members and the Mayor are chosen by elections every 4 years. The city council is presided by the Mayor.


Pichilemu City Hall[]

Pichilemu City Hall.

The Pichilemu City Hall served as the city's administrative headquarters. It was constructed from 1891 until May 6, 1894.[2][3]

The building was located in the street,[4] in a terrain of 1,660 square metres (17,900 sq ft) that descends suddenly from the street level. It was conformed by a 2-floors building, a zócalo, a complementary construction (260 square metres (2,800 sq ft)) and a yard. The yard serves as car parking for the municipality trucks, has a store and the corral municipal.[3]

The building was not constructed for that purpose, and worked as four separate parts rather than one unit.[3]

The Pichilemu City Hall was scheduled to be renovated in 2011, by the Government of O'Higgins Region.[5] According to the Municipality of Paredones, the Pichilemu City Hall "will be completely repaired."[6] Mayor of Pichilemu said on a Pichilemu City Council meeting that the new City Hall will be constructed with the earthquake reconstruction funds, and it was expected that by late 2011, the construction work will begin.[7]

The Municipalidad de Pichilemu building was demolished between December 2011 and January 2012. No construction work has begun as of March 2012.
