Democracy Square, Urban park in Historic Centre of Lima, Peru
Democracy Square consists of a central monolith and open spaces, positioned one block from Plaza San Martín and University Park in central Lima.
The space emerged after a 2000 fire destroyed the Bank of the Nation building during the Four Quarters March, leading to its inauguration in 2006.
The square functions as a venue for book fairs and public demonstrations, reflecting the democratic values of Peruvian society in the heart of Lima.
Located at 1045 Nicolás de Piérola Avenue, the square sits in front of the National Jury of Elections headquarters with access to multiple transportation routes.
The square replaced a building designed by architect Enrique Seoane Ros, transforming from a financial institution into a public gathering space.
