Alameda Valdelirios, Colonial monument in Ayacucho District, Peru.
Alameda Valdelirios, also called Alameda Marqués de Valdelirios or Alameda Bolognesi, is a tree-lined promenade in Ayacucho that follows the course of the Alameda river. Its route runs from the entrance archway, the arquería de Valdelirios, to the Monument to Independence. The archway was built by Rufino Macedo in lime and stone as a tribute to the Battle of Ayacucho and now shows signs of deterioration.
The Marqués de Valdelirios laid out the promenade in 1806 along the course of the Alameda river. Its route runs from the entrance archway to the Monument to Independence, built in 1847 and finished in 1862. The promenade fell into neglect in the 1970s and was rehabilitated in 2001.
The entrance arch, the Arquería de Valdelirios, was built by Don Rufino Macedo in homage to the Battle of Ayacucho, using lime and stone. The promenade is also called Alameda Bolognesi, and its axis runs from this arch to the Independence Monument. The structure is now visibly deteriorated.
The grounds are walkable on foot with paved pathways making it easy to move through the layout. Daytime visits work best to see the architectural details and stonework clearly in natural light.
