The Dominican Restoration began on August 16, 1863, when a group of Dominicans initiated an uprising against Spanish colonial rule to reclaim national sovereignty. This movement remains a significant historical milestone, representing a collective effort to secure the country's independence.

Currently, the Monument to Capotillo, which serves as a tribute to the heroes of the Restoration, is facing severe structural degradation. The site, known for its 'Lengüeta de Fuego' structure, is suffering from significant physical damage, including cracks and water infiltration, raising concerns regarding the preservation of this national symbol.
