Tacna was occupied by Chile for several decades following the War of the Pacific. The city was repatriated to Peru in 1929. The arch also symbolizes the return of Tacna to Peruvian sovereignty and the city’s enduring spirit. The War of the Pacific was a conflict between Chile and an alliance of Peru and Bolivia. The Battle of Tacna was one of the crucial battles during this war, and it resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
