Plaza San Martin in Peru

One of many! A large square dominated by the statue in the middle and surrounded by attractive colonial style buildings. Worth a visit as part of a sightseeing tour but it is after all, just another plaza.

Nothing special Not much to say. Ok landmark to meet people and then go somewhere else. Noisy and crowded and dirty. .

the statue with a funny story In the middle of the market is the statue of argentinian general Jose de San Martin mounting a horse, at the base of which is Mother Patria, the mother symbol of the country.
