The Dominican Republic observes the historical significance of the Restoration, which began on August 16, 1863, when a collective movement of citizens rose against Spanish rule to defend national sovereignty.
However, physical markers honoring the heroes of this movement are currently facing severe neglect. The "Lengüeta de Fuego" structure at the Capotillo Monument, which flies the Dominican flag as a symbol of sovereignty and sacrifice, is suffering from visible deterioration including structural cracks and water leaks.
