Cuartel de Caballería Páez

The cavalry barracks features a trapezoidal layout with a perimeter of 925 meters, encompassing over 36,500 square meters of internal space for stables and training grounds.

Construction of the Paez Cavalry Barracks began in March 1930 as part of the commemorative projects for the centenary of Simon Bolivar's death.

The building represents the military architecture of Venezuela during the 1930s, incorporating modern design principles for both soldier quarters and horse facilities.

Three main entrances lead to the interior, where the single-story structure includes separate areas for military personnel and horses, with specialized ventilation systems.

The barracks walls use specially designed baked earth materials with low thermal conductivity to maintain comfortable temperatures in the tropical climate of Maracay.
