Llama de la Libertad or Llama Eterna de la Libertad (lit. "Eternal Flame of Liberty") was a ceremonial flame located in Plaza Bulnes. It was lit on Septermber 11 of 1975 by Augusto Pinochet to conmemorate the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat against Allende. Llama de la Libertad was part of a larger monument called Altar de la Patria (lit. "Altar of the Fatherland") and was a symbol of the military dictatorship that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990.
