Lonely Planet review

Meter-thick walls enclose the haughty colonial-style customshouse, Edificio de la Aduana, built in 1871 when Iquique was still Peruvian territory - Peru incarcerated prisoners here during the War of the Pacific. Inside is the small naval museum with artifacts salvaged from the sunken Esmeralda, a plucky little Chilean corvette that challenged ironclad Peruvian warships in the War of the Pacific.
