Flag Square of Santo Domingo, National monument at Avenue February 27 and Gregorio Luperon intersection, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The Flag Square features a central triumphal arch with two angels representing glory and honor, surrounded by multiple flagpoles displaying Dominican flags.
The monument, inaugurated in 1978 during Dr. Joaquín Balaguer's government, underwent renovations and received its current name from President Leonel Fernández in 1997.
The square contains the tomb of the unknown soldier and serves as a central location for military parades, national celebrations, and patriotic gatherings.
Visitors can access the monument through public transportation, with several bus routes stopping near the intersection of Avenue February 27 and Gregorio Luperon.
In 1979, Pope John Paul II celebrated the first Mass of a Roman Pontiff in American territory at this location, facing the original Virgin of Altagracia painting.
