Bolognesi Square, Cultural heritage square in central Lima, Peru.
The square features a central monument surrounded by eight streets converging at its center, creating a radial pattern in the urban layout.
Inaugurated in 1905, the square commemorates Colonel Francisco Bolognesi, who led Peruvian forces during the Battle of Arica in the Pacific War.
The square holds annual military ceremonies on June 7th, marking the anniversary of the Battle of Arica with participants from armed forces.
The square connects major avenues including Brasil, Alfonso Ugarte, and Arica, serving as a central point for public transportation routes.
The original bronze statue of Colonel Bolognesi from 1905 resides in the Real Felipe Military Museum, replaced by a newer version in 1954.
