Plaza on Centenario Avenue
Location: Centenario Avenue, at the entrance to our city.
It is one of the first squares in our city, featuring trees over 30 years old. In the center of the interior, there is a fountain to which the entrances to the square converge. There used to be a mast there, beneath which a bronze cylinder was buried containing a message from General Juan D. Perón to the generation of 2000, dating back to 1950.
MONUMENT TO THE GAUCHO AND THE WORKER
Built in 1982, it represents the union, as a consequence of the installation of the Yacyretá hydroelectric dam, of the workers who came to work on the grand project from different parts of our country and the world, and the gauchos of that time who inhabited the town.
Made of painted white cement, on a small rectangular exposed masonry pedestal, it was refurbished during Dr. Octavio Valdés’ first term.
The journey continues along Buenos Aires Street, one of the first to be asphalted, leading to Sargento Cabral Avenue. During the flourishing period of the Yacyretá Dam, these neighborhoods were less populated, and the sand on their streets reached ankle-deep.
