Defunct ceremonial flame commemorating 1973 Chilean coup

The Llama de la Libertad or Llama Eterna de la Libertad was a ceremonial flame located in Plaza Bulnes in Santiago, Chile. It was lit on September 11, 1975 by Augusto Pinochet to commemorate the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat against the presidency of Salvador Allende. The Llama de la Libertad was part of a larger monument called Altar de la Patria and was a symbol of the military dictatorship that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990.
