The Torch of Friendship, Monument at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami, United States
The Torch of Friendship stands on Biscayne Boulevard, featuring stone plates with emblems of Latin American and Caribbean nations beneath a gas-powered flame.
The City of Miami constructed this monument in 1960 as a symbol of partnership with Latin American countries during a period of increased Cuban immigration.
The monument displays twenty circular plates containing coats of arms from different Latin American and Caribbean nations, representing regional connections and diplomatic relations.
Visitors can reach the monument at 401 Biscayne Boulevard, which serves as a central meeting point for gatherings and commemorative events.
The monument underwent rededication in 1964 to honor President John F Kennedy, with its flame corresponding to the eternal flame at Arlington National Cemetery.
