Alberto Andrade Carmona Park (Spanish: Parque Alberto Andrade Carmona), better known as Love Park (Spanish: Parque del Amor), is a public park in Lima, Peru.

Overview

[edit]

It is located on the Cisneros boardwalk, a place that makes up the Miraflores boardwalk. The park is the location of El beso, a sculpture by Víctor Delfín. The place has a view of the Lima coastline and the Villena bridge [es]. It was inaugurated on February 14, 1993. The park is surrounded by mosaics with phrases and poems about love in Spanish and Quechua.[1] The trencadís decoration is inspired by Park Güell in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Antoni Gaudí.[2] It was chosen by National Geographic magazine as one of the most romantic places in the world.[3]

In 2014 it was renamed Alberto Andrade Carmona Park, in honor of the late mayor of Lima.[4]
