Plaza Prat & Torre Reloj
Plaza Arturo Prat y Torre Reloj
Iquique's city-center square. Its 1878 white wooden clock tower in Moorish style is the city's emblem, surrounded by theaters and social clubs.
Plaza Prat is named after Arturo Prat, a hero of the War of the Pacific. The clock tower at its center was built in 1878. It is made of wood, painted white, with Moorish-style arched windows, and is the symbol of Iquique. Around the square are the Municipal Theatre, the Spanish Club, the Croatian Club and other buildings from the nitrate era, and it is also the starting point of Baquedano Avenue. During the day you can sit on the benches and watch local life, and in the evening the lights come on and it looks lovely. Admission is free.
