Parque Independencia infinito (Escher-Droste)

Parque Independencia infinito (Escher-Droste)
Made by otogno
Acercarse a Rosario implica múltiples sensaciones, y la posibilidad de descubrir a cada paso lugares dotados de valor histórico, cultural, como se ve reflejado en el maravilloso Parque Independencia. Inigualable, ofrece hermosos lugares por descubrir, respirar aire puro, y conocer sus rincones en los cuales encontrará llamativas estatuas y monumentos. Compartir una caminata en familia, es una manera placentera de penetrarlo, logrando maravillarse con las diagonales que lo atraviesan, cautivantes por su prolijidad. Por su reconocimiento cultural, dentro de su predio alberga al Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes Juan B. Castagnino, al Museo Histórico Provincial Dr. Julio Marc y al Museo de la Ciudad. Dignos de ser visitados, y portadores de importantes obras artísticas e históricas. Asimismo, los seguidores de la pasión por los deportes podrán conocer diferentes instituciones deportivas, como el Club Atlético Newell´s Old Boys, el Club Gimnasia y Esgrima, el Club Atlético Provincial y el Hipódromo de la ciudad. En pleno paraíso natural se levanta el Jardín Francés, que cautiva todas las miradas con su majestuoso Rosedal, dueño de miles de rosas multicolores. The Parque de la Independencia was the first park in the Rosario. Its origin lies in four public squares at the intersection of two then newly opened large boulevards, Santafesino and Argentino (today Oroño Boulevard and Pellegrini Avenue). The four-part plaza was named Independencia. In 1900 the provincial government authorized the municipality, presided by mayor Luis Lamas, to expropriate the lands to create a new park. The plans for the park were drawn by landscape architect Carlos Thays (famous for his work in the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden, among many others). In 1901 the municipality built the internal avenues and roads, an artificial lake and, with the earth removed for the lake, a small artificial hill (even today known as La Montañita, the Little Mountain). That year, also, the First Festival of the Tree took place, and 6,000 trees were planted by students in the park, which was inaugurated on 1 January 1902.

Puentes en el laguito - Parque Independencia - Rosario - Argentina

El Parque de la Independencia fue el primer parque de la ciudad. Su origen se vincula a cuatro plazas públicas en la intersección de dos nuevos amplios bulevards, el Bv. Santafesino y el Bv. Argentino (actuales Bv. Oroño y Av. Pellegrini). Las cuatro plazas se llamaban Independencia. En 1900, el gobierno provincial autorizó a la municipalidad, presidida por el intendente Luis Lamas, a expropiar las tierras para crear un nuevo parque. Los planos fueron realizados por el famoso paisajista Carlos Thays (ya conocido por su trabajo del Jardín Botánico de Buenos Aires, y muchos otros). En 1901 la municipalidad compra las avenidas internas y las calles, un lago artificial y, con la tierra extraída del lago, una pequeña colina artificial (aún llamada La Montañita). Ese año, conmemorando el 1er. Festival del Árbol que tuvo lugar, se plantaron 6.000 ejemplares por estudiantes en el parque, inaugurándose el 1 de enero de 1902.

Magnolia - Parque Independencia - Rosario - Argentina

Magnolia - Parque Independencia - Rosario - Argentina
Made by otogno
Magnolia is an ancient genus. Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers developed to encourage pollination by beetles. As a result, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are tough, to avoid damage by eating and crawling beetles. Fossilised specimens of M. acuminata have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and of plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae dating back to 95 million years ago. Another primitive aspect of Magnolias is their lack of distinct sepals or petals. The term tepal has been coined to refer to the intermediate element that Magnolia has instead. Magnolias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Giant Leopard Moth.
