Friendship Park (Lima)

María Graña Ottone Friendship Park (Spanish: Parque de la Amistad María Graña Ottone) is a public park located at the intersection of Alfredo Benavides and Caminos del Inca avenues, in Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru.

It was inaugurated in a 2001 ceremony with the presence of the King and Queen of Spain, during the administration of Mayor Carlos Dargent [es], so that a new Moorish Arch could be installed in memory of the one that was originally on Arequipa Avenue.

In its surroundings is the Augusto B. Leguía Cultural Centre, and within it the Casa de La Respuesta Museum, both dedicated to the memory of those who fell in the War of the Pacific.

The park area includes a small lagoon, swimming pools, gardens and a food court with local dishes.

It is themed around Juan Lepiani's La respuesta, a painting that depicts Francisco Bolognesi's interview with Juan de la Cruz Salvo, who requested the Peruvian garrison's surrender after the defeat at Tacna during the War of the Pacific.
