Paseo de los Héroes Navales
The square was built in the 1920s during the second government of President Augusto B. Leguía and since then it has been the scene of some of the largest social demonstrations in the country.[1] In June 2007, work began for the construction of the Central Underground Station that articulates the authorized lines that provide public transport service on the express roads of Paseo de la República and Grau Avenue within the Metropolitan transport system that connects the districts of Comas and Chorrillos.[2] The project, which serves one hundred and ten thousand passengers daily, also contemplated the construction of a shopping center and connection exits with España and Lampa avenues, as well as the reconstruction, on the surface, of the Paseo de los Héroes Navales.[4] The park forms one of the largest and busiest public spaces in the city, and is surrounded by important buildings on all sides.Among them are: On April 24, 2018, the sculptures of Paseo Colón were part of the ninety-one sculptures declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation by the Ministry of Culture:[5][6] On February 4, 2022, after recovery work on the promenade, the ten new busts were unveiled in a ceremony presided over by the mayor of Lima Jorge Muñoz Wells and the general commander of the Peruvian Navy, Alberto Alcalá Luna [es].
