Mirador del Obispado

Mirador del Obispado is a scenic viewpoint at the summit of Cerro del Obispado featuring a circular esplanade with panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains in every direction. The site is equipped with modern pathways and lighting to make the visit comfortable.

The site originated from a Bishop's Palace built in the late 18th century at the hill's mid-slope. This structure established the location as an important observation point for the region.

The monumental flag serves as the center for national celebrations and gatherings throughout the year. It represents the city's identity and brings people together during important occasions.

The best way to reach the summit is by cable car or car, both of which save time and offer easy access for visitors. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for avoiding crowds and enjoying the best lighting for photos.

The flag installation is surprisingly massive in scale, and its engineering as a stable monument on this windy summit demonstrates impressive construction skill. The visibility of the flag from across the entire city makes it an unforgettable landmark for both residents and visitors.
