Beautiful historical setting from where Martín de Estete began the outline of the city commissioned by the founder Diego de Almagro in December 1534. In its beginnings the square appeared vacant, without any monument, until in 1841 Don Pedro de Mandalengoitia Sanz de Zaráte donated a pool made of white stone that was built on his farm and work in Santa Cruz de Carabamba. In 1867 the pool was lit with eight davits with their respective lanterns and an iron fence was installed to protect it.



In the center is the Monument of La Libertad, sculpted by the German Edmundo Moeller and later assembled by Enrique Albretch. Inaugurated on July 4, 1929.

The monument consists of 3 bodies, each with a special meaning.
