  Tacna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tacna is a city in southern Peru and the regional capital of the Tacna Region.
Tacna is one of the most patriotic cities in Peru, with many monuments and streets named after heroes of Peru's struggle for independence (1821-1824) and the War of the Pacific (1879-1883).
Tacna lived a period of captivity for 50 years; the invaders started a campaign of "Chilenization", whose purpose was to convince the local population of accepting Chile as the new ruling power, and make them lose their Peruvian identity.
