Plaza Colón, Public square in Monserrat district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Plaza Colón features a central fountain surrounded by four ornate Parisian lampposts and a collection of carefully spaced trees providing seasonal shade.
The square, initially named Plaza Juárez Celman in 1888, received its current name in 1892 to mark 400 years since America's discovery.
The plaza serves as an outdoor venue for community gatherings and local events, positioned near significant government buildings in Buenos Aires.
Visitors can access the plaza throughout the day, with multiple benches and walking paths offering views of the adjacent Casa Rosada.
The 1955 redesign by architect Carlos David introduced a mini botanical garden concept, incorporating diverse plant species with calculated spacing between trees.
