About
Quick facts: The square showcases 23 large sculptures by Fernando Botero, each weighing several tons. The sculptures are made of bronze and depict figures with characteristic, rounded shapes.
Highlights: Each sculpture occupies a significant part of the space, allowing for direct interaction and unique photos. The sound of footsteps on the stones around the sculptures creates a natural path for exploring this artistic outdoor gallery.

- Busca sombra bajo los árboles para tomar fotos sin sombras duras.
- Evita los fines de semana, cuando la cantidad de visitantes es mayor.
