Memorial for the Disappeared, Memorial stele at General Cemetery in Santiago, Chile.

The white marble stele features names of victims on its wings, with Salvador Allende's name carved in the center and two sculptures at the front.

Constructed in 1994, this memorial documents the names of individuals who disappeared or were executed during the Chilean military dictatorship from 1973 to 1990.

The memorial incorporates verses from Raul Zurita's poem 'Canto a su amor desaparecido' on its front, connecting literature with historical memory.

Visitors can access the memorial through two entrances on Avenida Recoleta, leading to Section 102 of the General Cemetery.

Artist Francisco Gacitua created two distinct sculptures for the memorial: faces of a man and woman with closed eyes, representing silent remembrance.
