It was built in the 1790s as a military practice range by the Spanish government; it was expanded in 1793 by Belgian engineer Agustin Cramer, and later the Bishop Espada improved the lighting of the Campo. It was Captain General Don Miguel Tac\u00f3n who included it within the scope of his embellishment program. The area was then fenced and four majestic gates, crowned with coats of arms, each representing an important personality: the north gate, Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s; the south one, Francisco Pizarro; and the east and west gates,  Captain General (Spanish: Capitan\u00eda General de Cuba) Miguel Tac\u00f3n y Rosique (1834-1838)[a], and Christopher Columbus respectively.In 1928 it became the Parque de la Fraternidad.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Beginnings[edit]1892[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Beginnings[edit]  Campo de Marte, Havana. Fence and plinth surrounding the \u00c1rbol de la Fraternidad, Havana, 1928 (Oficina del Historiador de La Habana).In the seventeenth century, the grounds of what was to become the Field of Mars (Spanish: Campo de Marte) were part of a muddy and impassable area, it was located outsode of the walls that surrounded the town of San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana, and, in spite of its inhospitable location it began to be populaited into storage rooms and corrals for animals.  In the 18th century the lands were part of an orchard that belonged Cabildo to Don Melchor de la Torre, and in 1735 they became the property of Don Ambrosio Men\u00e9ndez. When the land was analyzed by a  public surveyor Don Bartolom\u00e9 de Flores, in charge of the demarcation and measurement, he found that instead of the original twelve solar mercedados there were twenty-eight and a half solares, so that the sixteen and a half surpluses were declared idle and unattached and relinquished to Do\u00f1a Petronila Medrano as partial compensation for part of the land owned by her that had been expropriated for the construction of the city wall. The aforementioned surveyor assessed a group of said lots at two hundred and three pesos with five and a half reais each, and the remaining at one hundred and seventy-one pesos with seven and a half reais per lot.[1]1892[edit]  Parque de la Fraternidad, Capitolio Nacional, and El Paseo del Prado, Havana, aerial view, 1931 (Oficina del Historiador de La Habana).

In 1928 it became the Parque de la Fraternidad as it is known today and in commemoration of the Sixth Pan-American Conference held in Havana. A silk cotton tree, called \u2018Tree of American Fraternity, was planted in the center of the park with soil from 28 countries of the Americas. On the initiative of the Sociedad Cubana de Estudios Hist\u00f3ricos e Internacionales, several busts of personalities and heroes representative of Latin American thought were erected, including those of Sim\u00f3n Bolivar and Benito Ju\u00e1rez.The park, which is actually a group of parks, has witnessed historical events such as the taking off and disappearance of Mat\u00edas P\u00e9rez, a Portuguese inventor, on his hot-air balloon on June 29, 1856; and the first celebration of Labor Day in Cuba on May 1, 1890.[2]See also[edit]^ Miguel Tac\u00f3n y Rosique ( Cartagena , January 10, 1775 – Madrid , October 12, 1855 ) First Marquis of the Union of Cuba, (later elevated to Duchy), Duke of the Union of Cuba, was a nobleman, sailor and Spanish military , Lieutenant General of the Royal Navy , Field Marshal of the Army of Earth and I Duke of the Union of Cuba.References[edit]External links[edit]Parque de la FraternidadQ6062740  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/parque-de-la-fraternidad-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Parque de la Fraternidad – Wikipedia"}}]}]
