The Crypt of Heroes (Spanish: Cripta de los Héroes) is a war monument located at Intiorko Hill, Tacna, Peru.
Originally inaugurated by the Chilean administration in 1901 and rededicated in 1930 by the Peruvian government, the monument is currently partially destroyed.
"[3] After the handover of Tacna to Peru in 1929, a statue of Christ the Redeemer was placed next to a cross.
[4] Until 1979, the people of Tacna paid tribute to the fallen in the place, however, after the construction of the Alto de la Alianza Monumental Complex, the place is forgotten and deteriorates over time in addition to suffering vandalism.
[5][6] Héctor Jiménez J., a local resident of Tacna, heads the efforts to restore the historical monument and accuses the regional government of abandoning it.
