HERRERA O, Rodrigo. Tunnels filled with time, weavings full of history: The commercial galleries of Concepción seen in the year 2010. Atenea (Concepc.) [online]. 2012, n.506, pp.121-135. ISSN 0718-0462.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-04622012000200008.

The traditional commercial centers, specifically the ones named "galerías" of Concepción’s downtown area, extend across time and fill a space in the day to day of the city of Concepción of the 20th century. Today, placed in a critical moment, they become an interesting object of refection and projection of what is unique to local "penquista" society, of its inhabitants and their longings. Here we offer a several ideas to contribute to the discussion of their importance and future.

Palabras clave : Commercial shopping centers; cultural heritage value; social uses.
