This is my entry for the #beautifulsunday hosted by @ace108 and for #sublimesunday by @c0ff33a

The Bolivar square of La Asunción

This beautiful square is located in the historic center of the town of La Asunción, which is the capital of Nueva Esparta state, which in turn is made up of three islands: Margarita, Coche and Cubagua. This is considered one of the most beautiful and best preserved squares in the whole country because in addition to having beautiful gardens surrounded by oak trees, has many architectural and historical pieces of the colonial era.

I have always liked to visit places and spend an afternoon or a morning in it, walk, enjoy the scenery and sit down to spend a very pleasant moment, all this I could do in this beautiful square, I went with my beloved @unataldani in hours of the morning and we had a relaxing and different time, we sat talking, then we went around the square and bought something to eat and then we decided to take some pictures of the square to have a memory of that day.

The Church Nuestra Señora de La Asunción

And if that was not enough, this square has one of the oldest buildings in the country, the Nuestra Señora de La Asunción church, which was built around 1571 and finished in 1621. Today it is still in operation, hosting several religious events and being a attractive for photographers and lovers of colonial history and architecture.

Rather nice weather out there. Pity there's not more people out there enjoying the day.

This is an amazing looking square, and such a bright wonderful day. Was it very in early in the morning though, is that why there is nobody around?

I like the statue, that is very impressive is it white marble?

Thanks for commenting friend, if it was at noon and here in these towns people are in their homes in those hours. Yes, the statue is very pretty, if it is white marble I would not know how to tell you but I think it is not. It is in honor of Luisa Caceres de Arismendi, who was a hero at the time of independence from Venezuela, in fact near the square there is a castle where the Spaniards held her captive for a while.
