Ceiba de San Francisco
Ceiba de San Francisco, Historical tree in Libertador Municipality, Venezuela
The Ceiba de San Francisco stands 35 meters tall next to the San Francisco Church in Caracas, marking an important intersection near Plaza Bolivar.
Planted in 1866 by the daughter of Vicente Manzo, a Caracas police officer, the tree reached three meters in height by 1870, as documented in photographs.
The tree appears in the logo of the Caracas Stock Exchange, depicting its silhouette with the San Francisco Church and Academy Palace in the background.
