Portal HidalgoEl actual Portal Hidalgo fue conocido desde el siglo XVI como Portal de la Audiencia, ya que con este se designaba a la sede del gobiemo de la ciudad.La arquería del portal fue obra de Álvaro de Caceres, quien unió dos tramos por el centro con un gran arco, frente al pasaje que divide la manzana, en el que sabemos, por documentos del siglo XVI, se vendía pan.Gracias a un plano de 1814, se sabe que el tramo de la arquería frente al actual Palacio Municipal era denominado "Portal de Palacio", mientras que la zona que va del actual Pasaje del Ayuntamiento a la calle 5 de Mayo era denominado "Portal de los chileros". Un hecho histórico que hoy nos parece extraño es que por acuerdo del Ayuntamiento en 1820, se prohibió que se expusieran en este Portal los cadáveres de los ahogados o los muertos en riña, ordenándose que se llevaran al hospital de San Pedro. En 1852, los antiguos nombres de los portales fueron cambiados por los de los héroes de la Independencia. Así, el Portal de la Audiencia fue denominado Portal Hidalgo, nombre que conserva hasta nuestros días.
English:Portal HidalgoThe current Portal Hidalgo was known since the 16th century as "Audience Portal" since the place where the City's government was located was referred to by that



name.
The portal's arcade is work of Álvaro de Cáceres who bonded two segments of walls with an arch, facing the walkway that divides the block, in which bread was sold, according to documents from the 16th Century. Thanks to a map dating from the year 1814, it is know that the arcade section in front of the current Municipal Palace was called "Palace Portal", meanwhile the area comprising the Town Hall walkway to the 5 de Mayo street was named "Chili sellers Portal". A peculiar historical fact is that in 1820, the exhibition in this portal of drowned people or those who died in fights was prohibited by the City Council and it was mandated to take the bodies to the San Pedro hospital. In 1852, the old names were changed for the ones of the Independence heroes. Thus the "Audience Portal" was changed to "Hidalgo Portal" name by which it is still known today.
