Miguel Grau Square

Miguel Grau Square is a true hidden gem in the heart of Lima, Peru. This charming square is a perfect blend of history and modernity, offering a serene escape from the bustling city life. As a traveler, I was truly captivated by its unique charm.

The square is beautifully maintained and surrounded by historic buildings, creating a picturesque atmosphere that's perfect for a leisurely stroll or simply relaxing on one of the benches. The centerpiece of the square is a striking statue of Admiral Miguel Grau, a national hero, which adds a sense of patriotism and pride to the area.

The best part of the square is its vibrant atmosphere. Local vendors set up stalls, offering delicious street food and handmade crafts, making it a great spot to immerse yourself in the local culture. I highly recommend trying some of the traditional snacks while taking in the surroundings.

Whether you're a history buff, a photography enthusiast, or someone seeking a peaceful spot in the midst of Lima's vibrant chaos, Miguel Grau Square is a must-visit. It's conveniently located near other major attractions, so you can easily incorporate it into your day of exploration.

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the ambiance and historical significance of Miguel Grau Square. It's a place where you can enjoy a piece of Peruvian heritage, and it's a perfect addition to any Lima itinerary. Don't miss the chance to experience this charming square!

The center of Lima is often skipped by most tourist but this park is beautiful. It's not touristy at all and you can get there easily riding the "metro" which is not a train or subway. It's the only government operated bus line. Very easy just grab it to "estación central" and you are right there. We saw a few interesting birds including a huge group of green and yellow birds that looked like they should be in a jungle. There was also a great market that is promoting bio diversity and clean agriculture with added ancestral customs. You can buy directly from the grower and all stamped so you can take it to the US or Europe. We had a great time and felt very safe.

This place has emerged like a very interesting cultural spot where people train and perform dances, do yoga or other sports. Nice to watch it if you are around!

The square was inaugurated on October 28, 1946, during the government of President José Luis Bustamante y Rivero. Towards the Paseo Colón a tribune was set up for the guests (officials, diplomats, etc.) who were received by a special commission chaired by Captain Arturo Jiménez Pacheco.
It is named in honor of the maximum Peruvian hero, Admiral Miguel Grau Seminario, who during the Pacific War was commander of Monitor Huáscar and participated in several battles against the Chilean Navy, dying in the combat of Angamos.
It is an important square that you will see when you are reaching the center of Lima. I suggest that you only pass by car as there is a lot of traffic in the area and it is difficult to take photos. Admiral Miguel Grau is very important to the history of Peru.

Es un bonito monumento sobre nuestro heroe. La zona alrededor es de primera. The place is a monument for Grau, Navy national heroe. The area shows the art school, Italian museum, Army museum and the Justice Palace, there is also a small boulevard in the name of Christofer Columbus.

This plaza is full of history. The church and nearby San Franciscan monastery were built in the 1600's. The residence of the Peruvian president is adjacent to the plaza. There are many things to see and do.

One of the most important monuments in Lima, representing the Peruvian hero Miguel Grau Seminario,thanks to him, Chilean fleet couldn't invade us on 1879, he commander the battle ship Huarcas and fought against 6 chilean battle ships on October 8 1879,where he died.
