Las Musas Walk
Upon arriving at Las Musas Walk, we found a portal supported by four caryatids of approximately five meters high, on which the motto is written: HEROICA CIUDAD DE CHICLAYO, title granted when the villagers defended the patriotic interests during the war of the Pacific. This beautiful promenade was built during the period of government of Arturo Castillo Chirinos, during 1994-1995; with the purpose of improving the decoration of the city and the quality of life of the existing urbanization in that area. In it you can enjoy the harmonious distribution of a set of small squares where nine muses of Greek mythology are shown; which respond to the names of Polimnia who is the creator of lyric poetry; Melpomene muse of tragedy; Tertisícorde muse of choral singing and dancing; Erato is the one who presides over lyric and erotic poetry; Clío represents the story; Calliope is the muse of ethical poetry and eloquence; Talía creator of comedy; Uranie muse of astronomy and Euterpe related to the art of playing the flute. These magnificent statues were sculptural creations by artist Celendino Miguel A. Díaz Díaz.
