Intiorko Hill is located at Ciudad Nueva District in Tacna Department, located in southern Peru.[1] At 780 metres above sea level, the stone used for the construction of the Tacna Cathedral, the Parabolic Arch and the Tacna Prefecture comes from the hill.
On September 19, 1901, the Crypt of the Heroes was erected by the Chilean administration to honour their dead during the War of the Pacific.[2]
On the hill are the Santísima Cruz Del Cerro Intiorko chapel, which is a place of pilgrimage during Holy Week, as well as the Alto de la Alianza Monumental Complex on its plateau, remembering the eponymous battle that occurred on May 26, 1880.
