Alameda de los Descalzos, Colonial promenade in Rímac, Peru
The 450-meter promenade features one hundred marble benches, twelve Italian statues representing zodiac signs, and fifty decorative iron vases along its paths.
Viceroy Juan de Mendoza y Luna ordered the construction in 1611, drawing inspiration from the Alameda de Hercules in Seville, Spain's first public garden.
The promenade held social gatherings where Lima's elite would meet, including the notable romance between Viceroy Amat and the actress Micaela Villegas.
The Municipality of Lima conducted extensive renovations between 2014 and 2015 to restore the promenade's original features and enhance public accessibility.
Three ancient fountains donated by Agustín Hipólito de Landaburu stand along the central walkway, bordered by two lateral carriage paths.
