Plaza San Martin (San Martin Square), Mendoza

Plaza San Martín is one the four symmetrical squares that create the city green-ensemble. It features the equestrian statue of General San Martin, created by Joseph F. Garcia. The “Liberator” points his finger to the west, in an allusion to the crossing of the Andes to liberate Chile and Peru. The square is also famous for the beautifully arranged flowerbeds and alleys.
