Lautaro Lodge

Lautaro Lodge

The Lautaro Lodge ( _es. Logia Lautaro) was for many years believed to have been founded in 1797 in London by Venezuelan revolutionary Francisco de Miranda. However, recent research suggests that the Lodge was founded in Cadiz, Spain, and that Miranda was not amongst its founders, as he himself was living in Paris at the time, from where he returned to London in January 1798.

The main goal of the Lodge was to establish independent governments in colonial Latin America. The Lodge is named after Mapuche leader Lautaro.

Membership of the Lautaro Lodge included many independence leaders such as Bernardo O'Higgins and José de San Martín.
