Plaza de los Presidentes, Square in Mongomo, Equatorial Guinea.
Plaza de los Presidentes is a public square in central Mongomo featuring large monuments and bronze statues representing the country's leaders. The space is organized with statues arranged in a circular pattern that reflects different periods of the nation's political development.
The plaza was built in the early 2000s to commemorate the leaders who shaped the development of Equatorial Guinea. Its creation was part of urban modernization efforts in Mongomo during that period.
The plaza serves as a gathering place for national holidays and official ceremonies that bring people together from across the country. The statues and monuments that fill the space shape how locals and visitors experience and think about the nation's political identity.
The plaza is open during daylight hours and monitored by security staff to ensure visitor safety. Early morning or late afternoon visits work best when temperatures are more comfortable.
The statues are arranged not chronologically but according to intentional artistic design that plays with varying heights and perspectives. This layout creates visual effects that shift depending on where you stand, giving the plaza a sense of movement and depth.
