Plaza Moreno (La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argetina)
Argentina

Está emplazada entre las calles 50, 54, 12 y 14 ocupando una superficie de 4 hectáreas aproximadamente. Esta ubicación fue elegida debido a su mayor altitud respecto a su entorno. Es el centro geográfico de la ciudad, punto de cruce de las principales arterias; es la plaza mayor de las ciudades indianas, donde se concentraban las más importantes instituciones públicas, en este caso se enfrentan El Palacio Municipal con La Catedral; representando al poder político y la presencia religiosa respectivamente. Hasta 1901 fue llamada Plaza Municipal, luego recibió el nombre de Plaza Moreno. A partir de allí se efectuó un rediseño de la misma que giró alrededor de una piscina central rodeada por dos terrazas con jardines de estilo francés. Sus circulaciones internas prolongaban el trazado de las dos diagonales principales que atraviesan la ciudad. En 1942 se realizo una nueva modificación en su trazado, esta vez tendiente a permitir visuales directas entre la Catedral y el Palacio Municipal través del playón central, eliminándose los trazados diagonales originales. En este centro de la ciudad, y a la vez en el centro geográfico de la plaza, el 19 de Noviembre de 1882 se emplazó la Piedra Fundamental indicando el lugar preciso bajo el cual, en un Macizo Fundacional, se guardaron documentos, planos, y valores, que debían ser exhumados exactamente el día de la celebración del primer centenario de la ciudad para ser mostrados a su población; siendo este, el único caso conocido que en la fundación de una ciudad se deja constancia material para la posteridad y un pedido explícito de realización de tareas con carácter de rito.

More About Argentina

Argentina didn't get to be the second-largest country in South America overnight. Archaeological remains found here date to some 9,000 years BC, left by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Early inhabitants were nomads and hunters who followed prehistoric horses and llamas. By the year 1480 AD the Incan empire had stretched to reach northern Argentina and the stage was set for contact.The Europeans came in 1516 with Spanish explorer Juan Diaz do Solis, who claimed the area for Spain and tried to export a river of silver back to Europe. Wealth grew along with the cattle industry and after Napoleon conquered Spain, Argentina declared its independence and set up their own government. That was 1810 AD.Argentina stayed neutral in WWI and for most of WWII, declaring war on the Axis powers only in 1945. Following the war, the country entered into a long chain of military dictatorships with only brief forays into constitutional government. The current president is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who's been in office since December 2007.Argentina is known for many things but the top of the list belongs to only two -- steak and the tango. Cattle graze on the abundant grasslands and produce some of the best beef in the world.  The climate is well-suited for vineyards as well, and Argentina's wines make a fine companion to their steak.As for the tango, it has recently exploded to become a world famous dance with hotspots in every major city on the planet. It started in Buenos Aires in the middle of the nineteenth century, as the city was filling up with a mixture of European immigrants and porteños, people who were born in the port city. They melded their cultures of rhythm and harmony and came up with the tango, which has been described as the ultimate evolution of partnered dancing. And it's a great way to burn off your steak stupor. Food coma begone!Text by Steve Smith.
