(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of San José de Maracay, also known and called the Cathedral of Maracay, is a Catholic religious building located between Bolívar and Miranda avenues in the city of Maracay, Aragua State. The Cathedral of Maracay is the episcopal seat of the diocese of Maracay, but unlike other cathedrals in Venezuelan cities that are located in front of (the main square of the town), today a Plaza Bolívar, the Cathedral of Maracay, is located in front of Plaza Girardot, which was established to honor Atanasio Girardot, hero of independence. In this Church, special worship is paid to Jesus of Divine Mercy. The Diocese was created by bull of Pope Pius XII in 1958. When it was created, it began as the "Church of Maracay" built on the land of the Marquis of Mijares at the end of the 17th century, with its first parish priest being Francisco Pérez Estopiñán in 1701.

En esta Iglesia se rinde culto especial a Jesús de la Divina Misericordia. La Diócesis fue creada por bula del Papa Pío XII en el año 1.958. Cuando fue creada empezó como la "Iglesia de Maracay" construida en los terrenos del Marqués de Mijares a finales del siglo xvii siendo su primer párroco Francisco Pérez Estopiñán en 1701.
(Translated by Google) It's under renovation. The Mass was in a pleasant space. The priest... 🤔 He didn't really inspire that peace in me, I didn't perceive that light, non-judgmental energy.

(Translated by Google) I visited from Caracas. It's a great place to take the kids for a ride on the planes. I think that despite the fact that they appear to be in basic maintenance, the planes are dirty and covered in cobwebs, and some vegetation is uncut. Just seeing all these planes and allowing the kids to ride on them, and taking the photos, is totally worth it. They'll never forget that memory. Admission was free when I went. It's worth the visit. (Original) Fui de visita desde Caracas, Excelente para darte un paseito con niños y se monten en los aviones. Me parece que a pesar de parecer estar con mantenimiento básico , los aviones están sucios y con telarañas por dentro , alguna vegetación sin cortar, el simple hecho de ver esos aviones de todo tipo y que los niños se puedan montar en ellos, y las fotos, ya vale la pena totalmente , ese recuerdo jamás se les va a olvidar, cuando fui la entrada estaba gratis. Vale la pena la visita.

(Translated by Google) An excellent place to learn about Venezuela's aeronautical history. However, there are no specific legends on the planes, so you can learn a little more. A great place to explore and share with the family. That's not why it gets 5 stars. General admission $1. (Original) Excelente lugar para conocer la historia aeronáutica de Venezuela, sin embargo, no hay leyendas específicas en los aviones, para conocer un poco más. Lugar para conocer y compartir en familia. No sé lleva las 5 estrellas por eso. Entrada general 1 dólar

(Original) Un lugar muy bonito y hay diferentes aeronaves lo que faltó fue un guía que te explicara la función de cada avión y que misiones hizo en vida

(Translated by Google) Girardot Square is the name given to a square and a monument located in the Girardot Municipality of the city of Maracay, the capital of the Aragua State. It was named in honor of the hero Atanasio Girardot, Simón Bolívar's collaborator in campaigns in both Venezuela and Colombia, and who died in the Battle of Bárbula in Carabobo. The square is located in the central part of the city between Mariño and Soublette streets in front of the Maracay Cathedral. It has various monuments and a space for the flags of Venezuela, the Aragua state and the Girardot Municipality. In the center of the plaza, apart from the monument to the Hero, rests a pedestal with a bronze eagle, honoring the Americans who were executed in the city of Puerto Cabello for collaborating with Miranda in 1806. The monument was inaugurated on July 5, 1897. (Original) La plaza Girardot es el nombre que recibe una plaza y un monumento localizado en el Municipio Girardot de la ciudad de Maracay la capital del Estado Aragua. Fue llamada así en honor del prócer Atanasio Girardot, colaborador de Simón Bolívar en campañas tanto en Venezuela como en Colombia, y quien muriese en la Batalla de Bárbula en Carabobo. La plaza se sitúa en la parte central de la ciudad entre las calles Mariño y Soublette frente a la Catedral de Maracay Posee diversos monumentos y un espacio para las banderas de Venezuela, el estado Aragua y el Municipio Girardot. Al centro de la plaza a parte del monumento al Prócer, descansa un pedestal con un águila de bronce, honrando a los estadounidenses que fueron ejecutados en la ciudad de Puerto Cabello por colaborar con el Miranda en 1.806.

Right now decorated for Christmas, a lot of security.

(Translated by Google) Girardot Square is located in the heart of the city of Maracay, it was recently remodeled. It has several benches to sit and rest and talk for a while as well as observe and interact with the squirrels that live in the trees it has. It should be noted that this square needs, in my personal opinion, a greater number of trees. It has a source which is currently not operational. There are multiple banking entities around the square, which is very useful, as well as the bus stop on Bolívar Avenue. (Original) La plaza Girardot está ubicada en pleno corazón de la ciudad de Maracay, recientemente fué remodelada. Dispone de varios bancos para sentarse a reposar y conversar un rato así como observar e interactuar con las ardillas que habitan en los árboles que dispone, cabe destacar que esta plaza necesita a mi opinión personal de mayor cantidad de árboles. Dispone una fuente la cual actualmente no está operativa. Alrededor de la plaza se ubican múltiples entidades bancarias lo cual resulta muy útil así como la parada de autobuses en plena avenida Bolívar.
(Translated by Google) This square occupies the space from which Maracay was formed as a populated center. It consists of a quadrilateral bordered by a ring of gardens and delimited by Bolívar Avenue, the Cathedral, the headquarters of the Anthropology and History Museums and the old National Barracks. The floor is covered in red cement slabs and in the center there is an ornamental fountain with the bronze statue of Atanasio Girardot, a replica of the work of Lorenzo González located in Bárbula, Carabobo state. Towards the south side an obelisk stands in memory of the Americans who in 1806 accompanied Francisco de Miranda to Ocumare de la Costa and were executed in Puerto Cabello. This square was also known as "El Águila" square due to the representation of this bird that tops the obelisk and was surrounded by a double iron railing with flower and arabesque motifs, imported from New York by order of Joaquín Crespo. This railing was dismantled in the 1950s and reinstalled in the Felipe Guevara Rojas Park and the Maracay Zoo. (Original) Está plaza ocupa el espacio a partir del cual se formó Maracay como centro poblado. Consiste en un cuadrilátero bordeado por un anillo de jardines y delimitado por la avenida Bolívar, la Catedral, la sede de los Museos de Antropología e Historia y el antiguo Cuartel Nacional. El piso está revestido en losas de cemento coloreado de rojo y en el centro se ubica una fuente ornamental con la estatua en bronce de Atanasio Girardot, réplica de la obra de Lorenzo González ubicada en Bárbula, estado Carabobo. Hacia el costado sur se levanta un obelisco en memoria de los estadounidenses que en 1806 acompañaron a Francisco de Miranda a Ocumare de la Costa y fueron ejecutados en Puerto Cabello. Esta plaza fue conocida también como plaza "El Águila" debido a la representación de esta ave que remata el obelisco y estaba rodeada por una baranda doble de hierro con motivos de flores y arabescos, importada de Nueva York por orden de Joaquín Crespo. Esta baranda fue desmontada en la década de 1950 y reinstalada en el Parque Felipe Guevara Rojas y en el Zoológico de Maracay.
