El Campo de Marte
The Campo de Marte, also known as the Plaza de la Revolución, is a public park in Jesús María District, Lima, Peru. It is one of the largest parks in the metropolitan area of the city, and similar in size to the Park of the Exhibition and the Park of the Reserve. It was originally part of the Santa Beatriz area of Lima District and, from 1903 to 1938, housed the Santa Beatriz Hippodrome until its replacement by the one in San Felipe estate, located further south in the district.
The racetrack was eventually paved over with asphalt and given the street name Peruvianness Avenue (Spanish: Avenida de la Peruanidad). The stands, which remained after the racecourse was disestablished, are currently used for spectators watching the Great Military Parade of Peru, held annually on July 29, the day after Independence Day.
Considered the "lung" of the district (and the city), it is located near the headquarters of a number of government institutions, including the National Office of Electoral Processes, the ministries of Health, Labour and Defence, as well as of the Peruvian Air Force. It also houses an acoustical shell.
Preceded by the first airport in the city from 1924, and the Santa Beatriz racetrack, where president Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro was assassinated in 1933, it was inaugurated in 1938. A lagoon popular among locals that existed in the area's corner with a monument to Jorge Chávez was drained three years later to make way for the park.
A concert by Grupo Niche gathered over four hundred thousand people in 1989.
The western part of the park houses a monument dedicated to the members of the Peruvian Army who fought in the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War of 1941. The work of the sculptor Artemio Ocaña, inaugurated on June 24, 1966, the quarry granite pedestal is 25 m high from its base and 28 human figures. Work began during the first presidency of Manuel Prado y Ugarteche, continuing under the presidencies of José Luis Bustamante y Rivero and General Manuel A. Odría, and concluding in 1966, during Prado's second term and coinciding with the silver jubilee of the Battle of Zarumilla.
The park houses a monument to the war fought in 1941 between Peru and Ecuador, along with a monument from the Japanese immigrant community in Peru. The former celebrates the ability to establish peace between the two countries, the latter resembles a bridge to symbolize the cultural connection between Peru and Japan. The park also houses the municipal stadium of Jesús María.
Made in tribute to the mother by the Municipality of Jesús María, the work made of bronze and granite, represents a woman with two children, one in her arms and the other on her haunches, surrounding her in an attitude of asking her to be held in her arms. It was inaugurated on July 25, 1969, with its sculptor Rafael Castillo Rodríguez.
