March 1866. The Spanish fleet arrives off Valparaíso with an ultimatum that Chile refuses to accept. What follows is one of the most destructive bombardments ever suffered by a South American city: hours of naval fire that ravage the port, destroy warehouses, churches, and hundreds of homes, leaving the city in ruins without a single Chilean ship able to respond to the attack.
In this video, we reconstruct step by step how Chile arrived at that moment, what happened during the bombardment, and what its consequences were for the city and the country.
