About Plaza Departamental General San Martín
The Plaza Departamental General San Martín is located in central Tunuyán, alongside the avenue that bears the general's name. Trees, walkways and a fountain form the core of the public space. The visit is a short urban walk, distinct from outings to the mountains of the Manzano Histórico.
The square brings together artistic interventions related to San Martín. These include sculptures made on dead trunks and works by artists that address his figure and trajectory. The relationship between the green space and these works allows you to observe the presence of San Martín's memory also within the city.
Walk the paths and take a break by the fountain or among the tree-lined areas. The square is a reference point for services and meals downtown, and it hosts cultural activities according to the calendar. You do not need an event to include the stop at the start of the Tunuyán route.
