Diego Ibarra Square, Historic square in central Caracas, Venezuela.
The rectangular plaza features three fountains surrounded by gardens, connecting the National Electoral Council building with the Simon Bolivar Center and Palace of Justice.
The square, inaugurated in 1968 after the Caracas earthquake, honors Diego Ibarra, a military leader who collaborated with Simon Bolivar during Venezuela's independence.
The plaza displays the Amalivaca mural created by Venezuelan artist César Rengifo and includes a 20-meter helicoidal metal sculpture called La Aguja.
The square functions as a covered transition space between street and building, providing pedestrian access to multiple government facilities in downtown Caracas.
A commemorative plaque on the west facade marks October 1, 1955, when the metropolitan area population reached one million inhabitants.
