Plan Serena was a major urbanistic project in the Chilean city of La Serena which included restoring the old city, building new public schools and new buildings for several public services.[1] The project took place between 1948 and 1952 and left La Serena with its characteristic neocolonial (i.e. Spanish Colonial Revival) architecture style.[1] The works were not restricted to La Serena but included the whole province including the port city of Coquimbo.[2] The project took place during the presidency of Gabriel González Videla, a native of La Serena.[1]
