A rose garden bearing the names of 191 female political prisoners, either missing or executed during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet, is located in the former Villa Grimaldi torture center, now a memorial park in Santiago, Chile. To the left is an open air theater in front of the reproduction of the red water tower used for torture and isolation of prisoners in box-like cells. Few returned from there alive. Villa Grimaldi was used by Pinochet's secret police for confinement, torture and extermination of opponents from 1973 to 1978.
