In the center of the park is the Pavilion of the Libertador, designed by the architect Pietro Cantini (1847 - 1929), originally with a statue based on a draft by Alberto Urdaneta. Created for the Park Centenario on the occasion of the festivities of the centenary of Simón Bolívar's birthday, 24 July 1883, it was relocated to the current site in the 1950s. Creator of the statue is the Peruvian artist Gerardo Benítez (* 1928 Arequipa), installed there in 1973.
