Place d'Espagne, Spanish square and monument in downtown Mendoza, Argentina.

Plaza España is a square and monument in downtown Mendoza featuring a central fountain surrounded by detailed ceramic work and a large marble monument. The monument depicts the brotherhood between Spain and Argentina and defines the character of the space.

The square's origins lie in the remodeling of Mendoza after the 1861 earthquake devastated the provincial capital. It was first called Montevideo and later Carlos Pellegrini before receiving its current name. On 11 March 1949 the monument was handed to governor Faustino Picallo at the end of his term, and on 12 November 1949, after a remodeling, Blas Brisoli inaugurated the square.

The monument displays seven painted ceramic scenes at its base showing important moments like Mendoza's founding, the discovery of the Americas, and Martín Fierro. These images tell stories of connections between two worlds and local identity.

The square connects easily to Plaza Independencia through Avenida España, Montevideo Street, 9 de Julio Street, and San Lorenzo Street. These streets make it simple to move between the two central plazas.

The monument includes carved figures of Spain and Argentina along with Christopher Columbus's caravel and two oxen representing the fertile land. These details tell stories of discovery, trade, and agricultural wealth.
