Plaza San Martín, Lima, Peru - Circa 1909: A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph transports us back in time to Plaza San Martín in Lima, Peru, circa 1909. The Plaza, named after the Argentine liberator José de San Martín, is a historic urban park located in the heart of the Monteros de la Vida district. At the heart of the Plaza, the majestic Hotel Bolivar stands tall, a testament to the city's rich history and architectural heritage. The Beaux-Arts style building, designed by the renowned French architects Taupin and Lainé, was opened in 1912 and was once the most luxurious hotel in South America. Its elegant facade, adorned with intricate details and ornate balconies, reflects the opulence and sophistication of the early 20th century. The Plaza itself is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike, offering a tranquil respite from the bustling city streets. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the Plaza is home to several monuments, including the iconic bronze statue of José de San Martín on horseback, which was unveiled in 1920. This photograph, taken circa 1909, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the Plaza San Martín as it once was, with the Hotel Bolivar standing proudly at its center. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded within its frame.
