Central Pichilemu was not severely damaged by the earthquake, but the tsunami caused significant destruction. The Fisherman Creek, located in front of the beach, was completely destroyed, and its machines are now unusable. Most of the Agustín Ross architecture that characterized the city, three of them being National Monuments of Chile, were damaged. The Agustín Ross Mirador, a famous location in front of the beach, located less than 200 meters from the Fisherman Creek, was completely destroyed. Its famous balustrades were washed away or thrown asunder. Many restaurants, kiosks and a circus were affected by the tsunami. The rural parts of Pichilemu, like Ciruelos, Rodeillos and Espinillos feature houses constructed from adobe. Many were more than 100-years old, and were destroyed or are now uninhabitable.
