ROSARIO

Yrigoyen Park and “Che” Guevara Estatue

Junto à antiga estação de ferrocarris Central Córdoba, este parque aporta umas 18 hectares para recriação e esportes, à sua vez oferece um lugar de privilegio para uma escultura em homenagem a Ernesto “Che” Guevara.

Parque Yrigoyen (Yrigoyen Park) is located between the Downtown and the Southern Municipal District Center. Within these limits, visitors will find the Che Guevara Square and Memorial. Also striking is a large railway terminal after which the neighborhood’s soccer club was named, Central Córdoba, its stadium being inside the Park too.

Che Guevara Memorial
Built to honor Rosario-born Ernesto Che Guevara, the Memorial involves a bronze statue by Argentine sculptor Andrés Zerneri. The statue is made of melt-down keys and other bronze objects donated by thousands of people from around the world. It stands on a pedestal in a square near the corner of 27 de Febrero Avenue and Laprida Street. Apart from Zerneri´s piece, there is a staircase and a paved road with railway sleepers. These symbolize Guevara’s journey through Latin America.
