Plaza Caracas, Cultural monument in Libertador Municipality, Venezuela.
Plaza Caracas is a public square in Caracas featuring a raised monument to Simón Bolívar created by Spanish sculptor Victorio Macho. The bust sits positioned between the towers of Centro Simón Bolívar and forms part of the city's architectural landscape.
The plaza was built in 1983 to mark the two-hundredth anniversary of Simón Bolívar's birth and to honor Venezuelan national identity. It holds status as a protected national historical monument.
The red granite plaza serves as a gathering place where artists and performers regularly present Venezuelan creative work. This space has become a natural destination for people interested in local artistic expression.
The plaza sits at an intermediate level and connects to several nearby areas including Plaza O'Leary, Los Silencio blocks, and El Calvario park. This central location makes it easy to explore the surrounding neighborhood.
Elongated garden beds mark the plaza's boundaries and create distinct spatial zones within the larger space. This garden layout provides a subtle separation between the central plaza and the surrounding building galleries.
