Beauty perishes in life but is immortal in art
Leonardo Da Vinci
Hello architecture and design community, nice to greet you and wish you a happy and blessed start of the week. On this occasion I share with you my visit to Plaza Bolivar in the city of Caracas, Venezuela. Caracas, capital of Venezuela, is one of the most important metropolis in Latin America, where the public powers of the state are concentrated and a large number of people, companies and factories develop their activities in this dynamic city.
Visiting Caracas is an exciting, fun and satisfying experience, walking the streets of Caracas and observing its buildings of different styles of construction among others take the visitor to live and remember ancient times mixed with modernity. It is worth mentioning that there is a great variety of buildings in this city of different colors, different designs that are mixed in an active city.
This square is located in the historic center of the city in the Cathedral parish. It should be noted that the times I have visited the capital of the country has been very exciting because I can see a lot of buildings and architecture (modern and ancient) that are not in my town.
A design that caught my attention in this square was a white colored podium, made of reinforced concrete, with a coat of arms in the center, lateral stairs, black wrought iron railings, lighting posts with lantern style lamps. It also has the flags of the countries that Simón Bolívar liberated and a ceramic floor.
May God bless you
