Hi Hivers - Hola Hivers
How are my dear Hive readers? Autumn has already begun here and the trees are beginning to shed their old leaves, I really like to see in some trees the wide range of colors that can be seen, and although they still retain their natural greenness, a yellowish color is already beginning to be appreciated in the cups.
¿Cómo están mis queridos lectores de Hive? aquí ya comenzó el otoño y los arboles se empiezan a deshacer de sus hojas viejas, me gusta mucho ver en algunos arboles el gran abanico de colores que se puede apreciar, y aunque aun conservan su verdor natural ya se empieza a apreciar un amarillento en las copas.
In this installment of walking through Montevideo we are going to know the famous Plaza Constitución or as it is usually called The Plaza Matriz, structurally this square has a circular pedestrian area in the center with a beautiful fountain, from there There are four paths that break down from the center to each corner of the square, it has very wide spaces, chairs and many trees that give this mythical image of yesteryear to the place.
En esta entrega de paseando por Montevideo vamos a conocer la famosa Plaza Constitución o como se le suele llamar La Plaza Matriz, estructuralmente esta plaza tiene un área peatonal en el centro de forma circular con una hermosa fuente, de allí salen cuatro caminos que se desglosan desde el centro hasta cada esquina de la plaza, tiene espacios muy amplios, sillas y muchos arboles que le dan esta mítica imagen de antaño al lugar.
The square is located in the Ciudad Vieja neighborhood, just a few blocks from the first place where I lived when I arrived in Uruguay, the area has an important commercial footprint and a wide variety of gastronomic places.
In ancient times this square was recognized as a main square hosting military and civil events as well as bullfights, also due to its proximity to the Main Church and important state buildings.
.
La plaza se encuentra ubicada en en el barrio de Ciudad Vieja a tan solo unas cuadras de el primer lugar donde viví cuando llegue a Uruguay, la zona tiene una importante huella comercial y una amplia variedad de locales gastronómicos.
En la antigüedad esta plaza era reconocida como plaza mayor albergando eventos militares y civiles así como corridas de toros, también por su cercanía con la iglesia Matriz e importantes edificios de estado.
The square dates from 1871, when the fountain with its water system was established and that was when the official inauguration of the public space took place, the fountain is impressive, it is built in marble and was designed by Juan Ferrari (Italian architect) if you approach a Little did you realize that the 8 sculptures around the fountain are not children, in this case they are fauns who hug and are sitting on the body of a strange fish.
.
Between each faun we have 7 inscriptions carved in marble that enhance symbolic events in the history of Uruguay, and in the center of the fountain we have a very tall pillar with three plates as can be seen in the image, the one above being smaller and larger. Bottom larger, it is a work of art that you can spend hours detailing, it has an incredible amount of details, children, dolphins, among many other details, simply spectacular.
La plaza data desde 1871, cuando se instauro la fuente con su sistema de agua y fue cuando se dio la inauguración oficial del espacio publico, la fuente es impresionante, esta construida en mármol y fue diseñada por Juan Ferrari (arquitecto Italiano) si acercas un poco la imagen te das cuenta que las 8 esculturas al rededor de la fuente no son niños, en este caso son faunos que abrazan y están sentados sobre el cuerpo de un extraño pez.
Entre cada fauno tenemos 7 inscripciones talladas en el mármol que enaltecen hechos simbólicos en la historia de Uruguay, y en el centro de la fuente tenemos un pilar muy alto con tres platos tal como se observa en la imagen siendo el de arriba mas pequeño y de abajo mas grande, es una obra de arte que puedes pasar horas detallando, tiene una cantidad de detalles increíble, niños, delfines, entre otros muchos detalles, simplemente espectacular.
However, it currently fulfills a tourist function due to the important cultural mark that it houses in the history of Montevideo, it is common that in high seasons, tourist packages have this square as a mandatory stop, in addition to seeing people walk the Sarandí pedestrian street from Independence Square a journey that has no waste, you can find local businesses with crafts and souvenirs from Uruguay living in that area daily.
Around it we have 3 vehicular streets and a pedestrian street, there are places to park motorcycles and cars, but crossing Ituzaingó street we have the important Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and San Felipe and Santiago de Montevideo place that I hope to visit soon and share with you, then you can know it too.
Sin embargo actualmente cumple una función turística por la importante huella cultural que alberga en la historia de Montevideo, es común que en temporadas altas, los paquetes turísticos tengan esta plaza como parada obligatoria, además de ver a las personas recorrer la calle peatonal Sarandí desde la plaza independencia un recorrido que no tiene desperdicio, puedes encontrar negocios locales con artesanías y recuerdos del Uruguay hacer vida en esa zona diariamente.
a su alrededor tenemos 3 calles vehiculares y una calle peatonal, hay lugares para estacionar motos y autos, pero cruzando la calle Ituzaingó tenemos la importante Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción y San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo lugar que espero visitar pronto y compartirles para que puedan conocerla también.
Esto ha sido todo por hoy, si te gusta lo que hago, siente libertad de ayudarme a seguir
This has been all for today, if you like what I do, feel free to help me continue
