The Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración is a monument in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. It was originally built during the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in 1944 as Trujillo’s Monument to Peace. He ordered its construction in his own honor. Yet symbolically the monument was built for the centennial of the Dominican War of Independence which was fought in 1844 to gain sovereignty from Haiti.
