Minister of Culture: Today we are celebrating the Bicentenary of the birth of an illustrious figure of Papireto, the architect Ignazio Purgante (1814-1897) , the creator and designer of one of the largest squares of our city, Piazza del Popolo.

After the proclamation of independence on 17 March 1861 and the constitution of the Republic of Macondo , the architect Ignazio Purgante gave to the city of Papireto this beautiful square that is still visited by thousands of tourists.

From a previous era are the church of Santa Maria del Popolo and the obelisk in the center of the square, 24 meters high , built in the days of the pharaohs Ramses II and Merenptah and led to Papireto in Roman times.

Very nice! I really lover the last two photos, especially with the greenery and floral work along the canal. So well executed :)

I like very much the geometric artwork you have made around the obelisk. In fact, I like the whole plaza! Would like to see a bit more of traffic, though.

 

Very nice so far!

So much open area.... nice to see such large open ground for city decoration. I feel very stingy leaving so much area without RC. :P
