The British Memorial Arch
Roberto, a photo flickr member shot this night view of this small copy of the Parisian Triumph Arch located on Av Brazil, the old sea shore line at the end of the XIX century. There is not much information about it, more than what it's written on the wall of the monument itself, "From British colony in 425th anniversary of Valparaiso discovery" and the name of its architect, Alfredo Azancot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/21054770@N07/2260429998/
