Kilometro Cero (Kilometer Zero), San Salvador

Kilometer Zero is a significant emblem in San Salvador, marking the central point from which all distances in the national territory are measured. On February 21, 2024, the San Salvador mayor's staff placed the new "Kilometer Zero" emblem in the Historic Center of the capital. This installation is a part of the Revitalization Plan spearheaded by Mayor Mario Durán, aimed at rejuvenating the heart of the city.

The ongoing construction work on the Downtown Urban Corridor includes the modernization of Kilometer Zero. This involves the placement of a stainless steel and bronze plate with a diameter of 3 meters. The plate is embedded in hammered concrete, which not only provides a non-slip surface but also adds a rustic and original appearance to the emblem.

Kilometer Zero is not just a geographical marker but a historical symbol representing the point from which the expansion of San Salvador began. The revitalization of Kilometer Zero is a part of broader efforts to modernize and beautify San Salvador's Historic Center, making it a more attractive and functional space for residents and visitors alike.
