Plaza Bolívar, National historical monument in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.

Plaza Bolívar is a public square in the historic centre of Barquisimeto, bounded by Calle 25 and Calle 26 and Carreras 16 and 17, next to the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción, the Iribarren municipal government seat, Plaza de la Justicia and the Edificio Nacional. Its centre holds the equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar on a pedestal built in 1930, and the square is enclosed by iron railings made in New York and installed in 1894.

Houses on this site collapsed in the 1812 earthquake; in 1842 the cleared ground became Plaza la Concepción. General Juares added iron railings brought from New York in 1894 and bought neighbouring lots to enlarge it, and on 4 June 1896 it was reopened as Plaza Miranda. General Pedro Lizarraga gave it the name Plaza Bolívar in 1925, and in 1930 General Eustoquio Gómez built the pedestal for the equestrian statue of Bolívar, brought from Europe for the centenary of his death.

The square has carried several names: Plaza la Concepción from 1842, Plaza Miranda after its 1896 reinauguration, and Plaza Bolívar since 1925. It is also known as Plaza Francisco Miranda and Plaza Jacinto Lara. The equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar was brought from Europe for the centenary of his death and placed on its pedestal in 1930.

The square is located between streets 25 and 26 and avenues 16 and 17 in the downtown area, accessible to visitors every day. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended to explore the different pathways and spend time at leisure.

The square's iron railings were made in New York and installed in 1894 under General Juares, who also bought neighbouring house plots to enlarge the space. The equestrian statue of Bolívar arrived from Europe for the centenary of his death and was placed on its pedestal in 1930.
