Plaza Bolívar, National historical monument in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
The plaza features a central equestrian statue of Simon Bolivar surrounded by walkways, benches, and carefully arranged green spaces.
Originally established as Plaza la Concepción in 1842, the square received its current name in 1925 with the statue installation occurring in 1930.
The square functions as a central gathering point for regional festivals, political assemblies, and artistic performances throughout the year.
Located between streets 25 and 26 and avenues 16 and 17 in downtown Barquisimeto, the plaza remains open to visitors every day.
The plaza stands on ground that became vacant after the 1812 earthquake destroyed all residential buildings in that location.
