Parabolic Arch of Tacna, Monument in Tacna, Peru.
The Parabolic Arch stands 18 meters tall in the Civic Center, constructed with pink quarry stones and featuring bronze statues of national heroes.
Inaugurated in 1957 during Manuel Prado Ugarteche's presidency, the monument pays tribute to Admiral Miguel Grau and Colonel Francisco Bolognesi from the Pacific War.
Every Sunday, citizens gather at the monument for a ceremonial torch lighting, reciting a patriotic oath to honor the national heroes.
The monument serves as a central meeting point for guided city tours and remains open to visitors throughout the day in the heart of Tacna.
A bronze lamp with anchor and sword designs, representing the Army and Navy, illuminates only during national holidays and city commemorations.
