Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Lima, War memorial obelisk at Morro Solar in Chorrillos, Peru.
Located on the northern slope of Morro Solar, this tall obelisk features three bronze plaques depicting different phases of the Battle of San Juan and Chorrillos.
The monument was inaugurated on July 27, 1922, during President Augusto Leguia's administration to commemorate soldiers who died in the War of the Pacific.
The bronze reliefs, created by Peruvian sculptor Luis Felipe Agurto, illustrate the military engagement sequences at San Juan, Chorrillos, and Morro Solar.
