One of the most-visited places in Mendoza

Plaza España was part of the redesign of Mendoza which took place after the 1861 earthquake. It was designed in 1863, and is one of the four squares that surround the Plaza Independencia. It's had a number of names over the years, including Montevideo and Carlos Pellegrini, until finally it was given the name of Plaza España. The other squares nearby are Plaza Italia, Plaza Chile and Plaza Independencia. In 1946 it was remodeled using some materials brought from Spain, like friezes. In 1993, the decision was made to restore the 1,561 badly damaged tiles that used to show scenes from the founding of the city.

It is now one of the most-visited places in Mendoza, with people coming from all over to see the beautiful tile work, Andalusian wrought iron lanterns, central fountain, beautiful monuments and wide variety of plants. It's a great place to come and relax in the shade of the trees.

Située en plein coeur de Mendoza, la plaza España fait partie des quatres places qui entourent la plaza Independencia (place centrale de la ville). Conçues suite au tremblement de terre de 1861 qui avait complètement détruit la ville, afin de limiter les dégâts en cas de récidive, ces places sont aujourd'hui des lieux de rencontres populaires, toujours remplies de passants. La plaza España présente une grande fontaine au milieu des arbres, complètement couverte de mosaïques, avec une fresque murale qui décrit la vie locale telle que découverte par les colons espagnols.

Located in the heart of Mendoza, Plaza España is one of four places around the Plaza Independencia (central square of the city). Designed following the earthquake of 1861 which had completely destroyed the city in order to limit the damage in case of recurrence, these places are now popular meeting places, always filled with passersby. Plaza España has a large fountain in the middle of the trees completely covered with mosaics, with a mural that describes the local life as discovered by Spanish settlers.

Place España

Excellent

Troisième petite place entourant la place de l'indépendance, la place de l'espagne nous laisse en apprendre beaucoup sur l'histoire de la colonisation de Mendoza. En effet, derrière la fontaine décorée de céramique bleu et blanche, on peut observer ladite histoire sous forme de fresque peinte, de l'arrivée des premiers colons à l'éducation des indiens... A double lecture donc.

Third small square surrounding the Independence Square, the place of Spain leaves us learn a lot about the history of the colonization of Mendoza. Indeed, behind the fountain decorated with blue and white ceramic, one can observe the said history in the form of painted fresco, the first settlers arrived in the education of Indian ... A double reading then.

Antigua Plaza Pellegrini. Recuerda la fundación de Mendoza por los españoles. Árboles y arbustos identificados. Su arquitectura española con una gran escultura simbolizando la unión con España. Don Manuel Diez construyó frente a la plaza un edificio estilo español. Los mosaicos españoles de su casa, de la plaza y del Club Español, demolido, tenían el mismo origen.

Ex Plaza Pellegrini. Remember the foundation of Mendoza by the Spaniards. Trees and bushes identified. Its Spanish architecture with a large sculpture symbolizing the union with Spain. Don Manuel Diez built a Spanish-style building in front of the square and an apartment for each child. The Spanish mosaics of his house, the square and the Spanish Club (demolished) had the same origin. A place to enjoy the City.

Con sus mosaicos españoles, su fuente, el verde de sus árboles. Parte del circuito de plazas de la ciudad de Mendoza. Muy bella. Toda ella nos remite a reminiscencias españolas, con mayólicas, colores y una fuente espectacular. También tiene una estatua que hace referencia al descubrimiento de América.
