Greetings architecture lovers friends! Today I would like to share with you one of the symbolic pieces of the city of Caracas El obelisco de la plaza Altamira. Join me to know a little about this important square of the Venezuelan capital.
This imposing spire is one of the ostentatious monuments of the capital city. I really enjoyed seeing all the details that this obelisk has in the surrounding area.
The square is composed of several segments, north square and south square, are the spaces that people have to sit, to admire the obelisk, take pictures or just walk around.

The obelisk is located inside a pool of water. Around it you can see the columns of the pool in the shape of a shell and above them a staircase where the water slides turning the pool into a striking fountain.
The entire monument is covered in beige stone, while the benches, planters and sculptures around the square are gray.
We can find vegetation, huge trees where visitors to the square take shelter from the sun. A lot of benches to sit on and garbage containers to keep the square clean.
The needle is on a base with figures that stand out to the eye. Then it extends in a smooth form up to the pyramidal tip. In the center it has the inscription that it was dedicated to a character that always worried about beautifying the city and to him the square was dedicated.
In front of the obelisk we find some stairs that take us down one level of the square. The mayor's office of Chacao to which the square belongs, installed giant letters that say "I love Chacoa" for tourists and locals to take pictures with the obelisk in the background.

In front of the letters we find a pool of water that acts as a mirror, on both sides of the pool stairs that take us one level down and in the middle of the stairs a large waterfall. When I visited the square the waterfall was not active but I have had the opportunity to pass by other times and see this spectacle.
At the end of the stairs, we found a shopping mall and the subway station. The truth is that I was delighted with this beautiful square, so complete with so many details.
The Plaza Altamira is a beautiful place and is perfectly located between important roads of the city, this made France chose it to have the Plaza Francia in Venezuela, for this reason they changed its name and it is really called Plaza Francia, although popularly people still call it Plaza Altamira.
I hope you like my tour of this architectural beauty of the city of Caracas. In my case, I loved this place and I could say that every time I visit the capital I pass by here to spend some time in the square. It was a pleasure to share my experience with you, see you next time. Bye!
La aguja de Altamira
¡Saludos amigos amantes de la arquitectura! Hoy me gustaría compartir con ustedes una de las piezas simbólicas de la ciudad de Caracas El obelisco de la plaza Altamira. Acompáñenme a conocer un poco sobre esta plaza tan importante de la capital venezolana.
Esta imponente aguja es uno de los ostentoso monumentos de la ciudad capital. Me gustó mucho ver todos Los detalles que tiene este obelisco en la fuen que se e cuentra alrededor.
La plaza se compone de varios segmentos, plaza norte y plaza sur, son los espacios que tienen las personas para sentarse, para admirar el obelisco, tomar fotografías o simplemente transitar por allí.
El obelisco se encuentra dentro de una pileta de agua. Alrededor se pueden ver las columnas de la pileta en forma de concha y sobre ellas una escalera por donde se desliza el agua convirtiendo la pileta en una llamativa fuente.
Todo el monumento está recubierto en piedra color beige, mientras que las bancas, jardineras y esculturas de alrededor de la plaza son de color gris.
Podemos encontrar vegetación, árboles enormes donde los visitantes de la plaza se refugian del sol. Una gran cantidad de bancas para sentarse y contenedores de basura para mantener la plaza limpia.
La aguja esta sobre una base con unas figuras que resaltan a la vista. Luego se extiende de forma liza hasta la punta piramidal. En el centro tiene la inscripción que fue dedicada a un personaje que siempre se preocupó por embellecer la ciudad y a él se dedicó la plaza.
Frente al obelisco encontramos unas escaleras que nos hacen bajar un nivel de la plaza. La alcaldía de Chacao a la que pertenece la plaza, instaló unas letras gigantes que dicen "Yo amo Chacoa" para que los turistas y locales se tomen fotografías con el obelisco al fondo.
Frente a las letras encontramos una pileta de agua que actua como un espejo, por ambos lados de la pileta escaleras que nos llevan un nivel más abajo y en medio de las escaleras una gran cascada. Cuando yo visité la plaza la cascada no estaba activada pero he tenido la oportunidad de pasar otras veces y ver este espectáculo.
Al finalizar las escaleras, encontramos un centro comercial y la estación del metro. La verdad quedé encantada con esta bonita plaza, tan completa con tantos detalles.
La Plaza Altamira es un lugar hermoso y está perfectamente ubicada entre vías importantes de la ciudad, esto hizo que Francia la escogiera para tener en Venezuela la plaza Francia, por esto cambiaron su nombre y realmente se llama Plaza Francia, aunque popularmente las personas sigan llamándole plaza altamira.
Espero que les fuste mi recorrido por esta belleza arquitectónica de la ciudad de Caracas. En mi caso, este lugar me encantó y podría decir que cada vez que visito la capital paso por aquí a pasar un rato en la plaza. Fue un gusto compartir mi experiencia con ustedes, nos vemos en una próxima oportunidad. Chao!
