Monumento a los Héroes de Iquique, Santiago de Chile, Naval memorial monument at Plaza Capitán Prat, Santiago, Chile.

The monument features a 25-meter high lighthouse-shaped pyramid on a circular stepped platform, displaying bronze sculptures at its base.

The monument, inaugurated on May 28, 1962, commemorates the naval heroes who participated in the Battle of Iquique during the War of the Pacific.

The main sculpture group shows Captain Arturo Prat with Sergeant Juan de Dios Aldea and other sailors in a naval combat scene representation.

The memorial stands at the intersection of 21 de Mayo and Ismael Valdés Vergara streets, providing an accessible location for visitors in central Santiago.

The eastern face displays a female allegory looking toward the Andes mountains, accompanied by Prat's pre-battle speech about duty and the flag.
