Hello everyone in this community of creatives, lately I have been giving my humble vote and reading multiple interesting posts, and what incredible feedback is being given. Today I will introduce you through some photographs made by me of:
The historic center of the city of Valencia
The city of Valencia is a municipality of the Carabobo state, Venezuela. In its historic center it was the beginning of the city in the time of the Spanish colony, with the urban 100x100 plots and the buildings of social control, currently institutional. The old town is currently heritage as a historical and tourist tour of the city, maintaining the typology of neocolonial architecture.
The preservation of history becomes essential, the old town is currently a symbiosis of conserved works and large more contemporary office buildings and although works have been lost due to modernization or spontaneous construction, remodeling has also been carried out to keep the original style. A few years ago, for example, the remodeling of the cathedral church (the one you see in the photo) was completed, directed by the architect historian Sara De Atienzar and her daughter Patricia Atienzar. When they were finishing I had a guided tour of them this work, they were professors at my university. As a curious fact, among learning the techniques to cover the adobe of the walls of the cathedral, in the courtyard it was discovered when making an underground tank that was previously the cemetery of the city since bones from the year 1500 were obtained approximately.
In another photo you will see a statue, on a classic pillar, this is located in the center of Plaza Bolivar, previously called Plaza Mayor. Then you will see another photo of an institutional building in the state and a zoom that I did to better see all the ornate work. And these are all the works that I bring you today so as not to make this post too long.
It should be noted that currently there are projects and proposals to continue developing the city, but the issue of the crisis, the inept socialist politicians are not interested in these kinds of issues, unfortunately my country suffers a regression in all branches of the lifetime. Greetings and thanks for reading.
