Settlements of the Conquistadores before the Destruction of the Seven Cities
The Destruction of the Seven Cities (Spanish: Destrucción de las siete ciudades) in Araucanía was a result of the great Mapuche revolt in 1598. It is considered sometimes as the end of the Conquest of Chile. The revolt was triggered following the news of the Disaster of Curalaba on the 23rd of December 1598, where the vice toqui Pelantaru and his lieutenants, Anganamon and Guaiquimilla, with three hundred men ambushed and killed the Spanish governor Martín García Óñez de Loyola and nearly all his companions.
Over the next few years, the Mapuche were able to destroy or force the abandonment of many cities and minor settlements including all the seven Spanish cities in Mapuche territory south of the Bio Bio River: Santa Cruz de Coya (1599), Santa María la Blanca de Valdivia (1599), San Andrés de Los Infantes (1599), La Imperial (1600), Santa María Magdalena de Villa Rica (1602), San Mateo de Osorno (1603), and San Felipe de Araucan (1604).
The Destruction of the Seven Cities came to have longstanding effects on the future development of Chile transforming the area from Aconcagua to Biobio River into Chile's heartland.
