Third Millennium Cross (Cruz del Tercer Milenio)
La Serena, Chile
The Third Millennium Cross is a striking 60-metre symbol of faith located on a hill overlooking La Serena, completed in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium. This prominent Christian cross is made of over 3,000 pieces of steel and stands as a contemporary religious monument against a backdrop of the Pacific coastline.
The site offers panoramic views of La Serena and the surrounding area, making it a worthwhile visit for photography enthusiasts, particularly at sunrise or sunset. The nearby El Faro Monument and the beach make it easy to combine a visit to the cross with a leisurely stroll along the coast. Look out for the local wildlife, including birds that soar against the horizon.
