Description
The first quarter moon above the Moorish style clock tower in Plaza Prat in the port city of Iquique in the north of Chile. The tower dates from 1877 and it the most famous structure in the city. In the late 19th century Iquique was one of the most important ports in South America, thanks to the nitrate mining boom in the nearby Atacama Desert. It is still a major port, a holiday resort and capital of Region I de Tarapaca.
