Park of the Exposition
The Exposition Park was built during the José Balta administration, shortly after the Lima Wall collapsed (the bastion of the Pacific War). In 1872, it was dedicated next to the Palace of the Exposition (now the Museum of Art). The beautiful Chinese Fountain, a gift of the Chinese colonists settled in Lima, was inaugurated during the celebration of the Centennial of Independence (1921). It is located in the heart of Lima's Santa Beatriz neighborhood, bounded by Paseo Colón, Wilson, Paseo de la Repblica, and 28 de Julio avenues.
