Miguel Grau Square is a true hidden gem in the heart of Lima, Peru. This charming square is a perfect blend of history and modernity, offering a serene escape from the bustling city life. As a traveler, I was truly captivated by its unique charm.

The square is beautifully maintained and surrounded by historic buildings, creating a picturesque atmosphere that's perfect for a leisurely stroll or simply relaxing on one of the benches. The centerpiece of the square is a striking statue of Admiral Miguel Grau, a national hero, which adds a sense of patriotism and pride to the area.

The best part of the square is its vibrant atmosphere. Local vendors set up stalls, offering delicious street food and handmade crafts, making it a great spot to immerse yourself in the local culture. I highly recommend trying some of the traditional snacks while taking in the surroundings.

Whether you're a history buff, a photography enthusiast, or someone seeking a peaceful spot in the midst of Lima's vibrant chaos, Miguel Grau Square is a must-visit. It's conveniently located near other major attractions, so you can easily incorporate it into your day of exploration.

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the ambiance and historical significance of Miguel Grau Square. It's a place where you can enjoy a piece of Peruvian heritage, and it's a perfect addition to any Lima itinerary. Don't miss the chance to experience this...

Está nombrada en honor del máximo héroe peruano, el Almirante Miguel Grau Seminario, quien durante la Guerra del Pacífico fue comandante del Monitor Huáscar y participó en varios batallas contra la Armada de Chile, falleciendo en el combate de Angamos.

Descripción.

La plaza presenta una forma rectangular con vértices redondeados, bordeada de jardines. En el centro se alza el monumento, que es un bello conjunto de granito y bronce, obra del escultor español Victorio Macho. Alcanza una altura de 21 metros.

El cuerpo del monumento es un monolito granítico de cuatro caras, con estrías verticales y graderías de ritmos ascendentes, que a decir del mismo autor, simboliza la tierra del Perú. Las gradas que se ven en su base simbolizan al mar. A media altura de la cara principal o frontis, se halla la escultura del héroe representado con su uniforme de marino y con los brazos cruzados, entre un timón y las anclas de un barco. Debajo de la misma, en el pedestal, se lee la siguiente leyenda: «A la gloria del Almirante del Perú Miguel Grau el peruano del Milenio». En las caras laterales se hallan esculturas simbólicas sobre graderías, que representan a hombres que ganan con dificultad las alturas. En la cara posterior se halla una placa conmemorativa del combate de Angamos. Y finalmente, la obra está coronada por la alegoría de la Fama, que eleva sus brazos hacia el cielo en clamor de inmortalidad y que es conducida en una nave mítica por tritones y sirenas.

La plaza fue inaugurada el 28 de octubre de 1946, durante el gobierno del presidente José Luis Bustamante y Rivero. Hacia el lado del Paseo Colón se habilitó una tribuna para los invitados (funcionarios, diplomáticos, etc.) que fueron recibidos por una comisión especial presidida por el capitán de navío Arturo Jiménez Pacheco.

Complementaban el escenario el emplazamiento de tropas de las tres armas, cuerpos de la Guardia Civil y Policía y batallones representativos de los colegios de Lima y Callao. La línea estaba al mando del mariscal Eloy Ureta, acompañado de su estado mayor: generales Manuel A. Odría, Luis Solari, Juan de Dios Cuadros y Manuel Forero.

La ceremonia empezó con un minuto de silencio en memoria del héroe de Angamos. Luego surcaron el espacio aéreo cincuenta aviones de guerra, divididos en dos escuadrones, que realizaron diversas evoluciones.

Terminada la exhibición aérea, el presidente Bustamante y Rivero, acompañado por el alcalde de Lima y de veteranos de la guerra del Pacífico, se dirigió al pie del monumento. Al alférez de fragata Manuel Elías Bonnemaison (1865-1961), último sobreviviente de la oficialidad del Huáscar, le correspondió el honor de descorrer el velo que cubría al conjunto escultórico. Ante la efigie de Grau, el presidente Bustamante leyó en un discurso bellísimo y lleno...

The center of Lima is often skipped by most tourist but this park is beautiful. It's not touristy at all and you can get there easily riding the "metro" which is not a train or subway. It's the only government operated bus line. Very easy just grab it to "estación central" and you are right there. We saw a few interesting birds including a huge group of green and yellow birds that looked like they should be in a jungle. There was also a great market that is promoting bio diversity and clean agriculture with added ancestral customs. You can buy directly from the grower and all stamped so you can take it to the US or Europe. We had a great time and...

Miguel Grau Square is the heart of Lima, around which the city's lively life takes place every day. It is a reflection of the life, culture and originality of a large metropolis. Patriotism, the memory of its heroes, national color and the hectic rhythm of the highway fit harmoniously into this place. The monument stands at the intersection of roads to the city center, it is easy to observe from afar, from a car, it is difficult to approach it. Around, on the square there are many retail outlets of local merchants, government agencies and organizations. Visit this place.
