Plaza San Martín is one of the most representative public squares in the city of Lima. It is located in the ninth block of Colmena Avenue in the historic center of Lima, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. It is close to the Plaza Mayor of Lima and is connected to it by the Jiron de la Union. Its central monument is a tribute to Peru's liberator José de San Martín.

In the middle of the square stands the large equestrian statue of José San Martins, on a massive white base. On a pedestal on the base is a smaller statue of Madre Patria, Peru's symbolic mother.
