Zonas de Caracas

GCM

The square is designed with a neoclassical arrangement, with the sculpture in the center, between two arms with pergo-las on columns, planted with bougainvilleas and embracing the public space. It is on a plane just a few steps above the street le­vel, giving it the presence to mark the end of Avenida San Martín and the beginning of other western Caracas neighborhoods, like Bella Vista. It exhibits a bronze sculpture of Uruguayan hero José Gervasio Artigas (by José Luis Blanes, with a Costa workshop inscription, Flo­rence, Italy).
