Cielo Abrierto Frescoes Museum
This is a kind of open-air museum. There are 20 colored frescoes on the hill, the authors of which are students of the Catholic University of Arts. They just wanted to make their city brighter and more fun and came up with such an exhibition. You can get to the museum by the Espiritu Santo lift, which is located near Victoria Square.
The House of Pablo Neruda
The poet’s museum is located in the estate of La Sebastiana. Here Neruda loved to celebrate the New Year and look at the cheerful residents of the city. Near the house there is a souvenir workshop, exhibitions of local artists are held, cafes are open where you can relax and listen to the poems of the great poet.
Lord Cochrane Maritime Museum
This museum is a tribute to Lord Cochrane, who founded the Chilean Navy. It is located on Sotomayor Square and has taken the astronomical observatory under its wing. Exhibitions are periodically held here, and the patio offers a beautiful view of the harbor.
Sotomayor Square
This is the sea heart of the city — this is how the locals speak about the square. The main building of the Naval Command towers above it. In the center of the square there is a monument to the heroes of Iquique, and under it there is a mausoleum in which the remains of sailors lie.
Immaculate Conception Hill
Of course, it was not on this hill that the Virgin Mary conceived her child, but it was in honor of this event that the hill was named. On the hill there are houses with bright roofs and wrought-iron fences. This is a typical Valparaiso, where you can just take a walk and look at the city from a height.
