Conchupata Lighthouse, National monument in Oruro, Bolivia.

Conchupata Lighthouse is a national monument of Bolivia located in the city of Oruro, at the corner of Herrera and La Plata streets. The tower rises above the surrounding buildings and can be seen from many parts of the city.

On November 7, 1851, President Manuel Isidoro Belzu raised the current Bolivian tricolor for the first time at this site, with artillery and rifle salutes and national authorities present. The flag had been reformed by the law of November 5, 1851, its red, yellow and green inspired by a rainbow Belzu saw over Oruro from Pasto Grande. A decree of December 30, 1851 set its use from January 15, 1852, and Oruro's prefect raised it on the column on August 6, 1852.

During the Oruro Carnival, dancers in colorful costumes gather near the lighthouse as part of the processions that pass through the city center. For people in Oruro, the spot is a familiar reference point during the festivities.

The lighthouse is in the center of Oruro and easy to reach on foot from most of the city's hotels and squares. During carnival season, the area gets very crowded, so visiting earlier in the day makes it easier to move around.

The site was formerly known as Corralcata, a name that points to a very different use of the land before the current structure was built. That older name is still sometimes heard among long-time residents of the city.
