I will show how to construct the Chow quotient of the complete flag variety of linear subspaces of the three dimensional complex projective space by its maximal torus, proving that it is smooth and a Mori Dream Space, and describing in detail its rich birational geometry. This is a joint work with Lorenzo Barban and Luis Eduardo Solá Conde.
