Mendoza, Argentina

I would like to talk about my hometown. I was born in Mendoza.

Mendoza is a city in the west of Argentina, in the east of the Cordillera de Los Andes.

After a big earthquake in 1861 the city was built around five squares.

The biggest square is Plaza Independencia and the other ones are strategically located: Plaza España, Plaza Chile, Plaza Italia and Plaza Independencia. They stand out by their symmetry.
