Municipal Theatre, Iquique, Chile<br> Chile picture - Iquique is also on the flank of the Atacama Desert. It was in that desert that the Chilean Nitrate industry boomed in the 19th Century. Iquique's Nitrate Barons endowed the city with a splendid opera house, still grandly standing behind withering banana plants on the town's Plaza Prat.
