Bismarck tower in Concepción, Chile, German monument on Cerro Caracol hill in Concepción, Chile.
The stone tower rises 30 feet above Cerro Caracol hill and features a carved plaque with Otto von Bismarck's portrait at its center section.
Built in 1921, this structure belongs to a network of towers honoring German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, with most examples located throughout Germany.
The monument represents the connection between German settlers and Chilean society, standing as the southernmost Bismarck tower construction in the world.
Visitors can reach the tower through a 1.5-mile marked trail starting at Parque Ecuador, with the path suitable for both hiking and cycling.
The structure lost its upper section during the 1949 Chillán earthquake but maintained its foundation through multiple seismic events in 1960 and 2010.
