Square featuring a monument in Carrara marble, symbolizing the hymn to freedom, commemorating the first cry of independence
Planted with magnolias, hibiscus, jacarandas and coconut trees, this square is the meeting place of retired Quiteños who monopolize the benches and stroll around all day (that's why the younger ones call it the "dead pigeons" square). A Carrara marble monument, symbolizing the hymn to freedom, commemorates the first cry of independence. The Battle of Pichincha is celebrated here with a modern monument that is more wall art than sculpture.

Beaucoup de monde l'après-midi, ambiance garantie où les équatoriens viennent pour lire, se détendre, discuter, jouer aux cartes ou aux échecs, manger sur le pouce.
Nous y sommes allés le dimanche matin, car le président ou le vice président y fait une apparition. La foule battait son plein, avec un orchestre et des danses traditionnelles. C'était génial.
